Default RE: Does anyone have this?

Pretty much what Ron said,
but you won't need a hand held starter and a 12volt battery, I had to look twice, there is a pull start (4th picture). You can however later on if you so desire go with the belt start system.

again like mentioned, a good FM radio, but know need to go crazy on price (unless you can spend a bit more, you could go with a Marine 2.4Ghz)
you will also need 2 servos, something with 40 to 60oz of torque for the throttle (does not have to be, but no less than 40oz) and a steering servo, high torque, 90oz plus (I prefer over 100oz but that is me).

The ad says the thank is 220cc which makes it 7.5oz (lets say 8oz), that would give approx 8 mins of run time (more or less).

I am somewhat skeptical of the 50mph claim but you never know.
