Default your tips for a newbie

Hi all

like many do im returning to the fold after many years away doing family stuff.
im really looking forward to getting back into it and hoping to get to the club this Tuesday or next just to chat.

ive gone out and bought a second hand schumacher kf off ebay but now need all the kit its a mine field to me these days but im buzzing and just want to get it running and attend a meeting
i know price is a factor but my skills used to be average so having the most expensive stuff is pointless, just want to be able to run it and not be getting lapped by everyone

i was looking at getting a wheeled controller 2.4g, is this any good
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1417835141...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

errm motor...no idea same with the esc wasn't sure what amp you all run and again batteries ! i know i need lipos but what size do you all run, i see this kf runs two batteries (shortys if im right?)

transponder ? or is that just on race days
tyres ? or can i just run the schumachers that are on it ?

arrghh so many questions

anyway im sure this is one of many thousand posts you get asking these questions but i just don't want to waste money i kit i dont need and i going crazy having a car that i cant use

anyway much appreciate any advice

kind regards
Steve
