See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge First you will need enough parts to build a complete car. As mentioned above, most (or all) of this is often available as a complete combo. In order to go from nothing, to a running car, you will need the following: - car chassis - car body (shell) - car motor - model car battery* - speed controller - steering servo - receiver - wheels (tires and rims)* - radio - radio batteries - battery charger - crystal set* *All the items that are marked with an asterisk, you will probably want to have multiples. To put everything together, that is to build the car, you will need tools. Looking around my own garage, here is what I have lying around: - assorted small screwdrivers - assorted small wrenches - tapered reamer - sharp (X-Acto) knife - scissors - needle-nose pliers - sandpaper - elastics - small wire ties - body (Lexan) paint - CA (cyanoacrylate) glue - thread lock - gear lubricant For a better (exact) list, again, consult the manual that comes with your specific car kit. Often car kits come with few basic tools, and then the manual will tell you what else you will need. User Contributions:Top Document: [rec.models.rc.land] Newbie Guide and FAQ Previous Document: 3.
