Hi. I am new to the forum. I build an RC car over 30 years ago. I am getting back into the hobby this time with my sons. I dusted off my old Team Associated 1/10 World Car and we built a RC dirt track in our backyard. Now they are hooked and want cars of their own. I need some help to sort through all the options.
Requirements/Preferences
!) we will only run on dirt tracks with few long straight sections
2) we don't plan to race officially so no stock motors/components limitation
3) would like an ESC that can operate the car in reverse
4) prefer the look of truggy or truck
5) prefer 1/10 scale
6) prefer electric
7) prefer a tight turning radius car
Questions
1) What does 3S, 4S, 5S etc mean?
2) What are some good brands of ESC's and motors
3) Are there limitations on ESC' motor pairing
4) what are the advantages of brushless
5) Does the ESC determine the maximum battery mAh
6) What determines the turning radius of the car
7) What brand of transmitters make the preferred short list
8) What brand of cars have the best suspensions and design
9) Any brands of cars, ESC, transmitters to avoid
