I've been doing nitro for a few months now and find it a bit frustrating that I never have time to devote to learning and working on my cars so I'm going to sell off a couple of them, keep one or two, and get something that's always ready to go for when the wife gives me a day off I can run to the track without worrying whether my rigs gonna perform. I have no experience and very little knowledge of electric but doing alot of reading. Seems short course trucks are the rage nowadays but I really like the looks of the Losi short course buggy, looks like a load of fun and seems can be upgraded to brushless rather easily. But I don't want to make the jump untill I have explored some options.
I will be doing most of my running on my street and in my yard and of course anytime I find a construction area that's broken ground with dirt mounds and such. We have a local short course with small jumps (appears to be a typical short course) that I hope to be able to run on occasionally. So what I have in my head for innitial setup is:
XXX-scb
2S Lipo
light and tune kits
then upgrade to the sidewinder sct & 3800 kv kit once I get a feel for the truck and know I will be able to take advantage of it.
Any suggestions for the above or alternatives to it?
