-Oh, believe me, that Lunchbox WILL WHEELIE w/ the electronics you bought for it!!!
-I look foward to your progress pics, I think the Lunchbox will be the easiest build, then the Stadium Truck, lastly the Touring Car, (I'm into offroad---interested in that stad. truck, looks "sorta" like a Duratrax Evader---I had one), I guess I'll have to wait & see, I wish you well.  God Bless!!! :)

got the car out of the snow today went to pick up my motors and escs today at my friends hobby shop talking to him wha i bought he said he got wha i wanted but he said instead of the tuned sport 26t to try the 27t hpi saturn closed can and the bearings upgrade for the lunch box so he sold me them for £13 about $20 so ill try tha out first i had the hpi saturn 20t in my old lambo and that had lots of power and speed so should be good enough just waiting for the kits to come now

ye its pretty simple realy if you get a kit tho you will need transmitter reciever motor esc servo but all them parts are fairly cheap if you have a good look about you can get combo kits where you will get every thing but i would get them all seperate and get what you want not what they want you to want

for ur first i would go for some thing like tamiyas maybe blackfoot lunchbox coz there strong reliable and you will get the parts at any hobby shop or ebay easily  but if you are wanted to go brushless thats a different matter

yeah i would need help in that feild of knowing what to get for electronics. i wouldn't go brushless until i understand how to build one with confidence.
