Maybe someone with more experience with NTC3s will chime in, but it looks to me like you have factory team shocks and cvds, Sirio .12 engine with tuned pipe and racers edge air filter, and aftermarket disk brake kit. If it were mine, I'd put matching front/rear wheels ASAP as it just comes off as an eye-sore. Clean car though!
I've only had one starter box, a Kyosho dual 550 motor equipped one for my GT2 car, and have used a pair of 5000mah lipos from day one. Fairly simple box but never had issues.

Because of the layout of that car, there's only a couple of boxes that'll easily work.
One is the associated box (there's only one) and the OFNA box #10243.
Buy lots of spares. Buy even more tires. Drive it a lot.
I'd certainly pick up some pinion and spur gears...

Sweet thanks for all the info guys...I have 2 other sets of matching wheels and tires I will put on it. got a set of foams and rubber..So does anyone know how good of a motor that is? Just trying to figure out everything I have. We put a different pip on it before I took it home.
@Farmer... thanks i wasnt sure which starter box i should get. ill look into the associated box.
Im gonna pick up another body and hold onto the other one. its too nice to mess up and I dont know how well I will be able to drive this. Here are a few pics with the other sets of wheels/tires I got.

id leave the power alone as you already have enough power to destroy your balldifs if that is a sirio system. the ae dual chambered pipe you have there is also the most optimal pipe for the car for most conditions, so leave it be.
get a nice body for it for sure, play with it and enjoy it, take it apart, learn how to put it back together "there will be a lot of that if you race it" dont spend money on it.

Yep, I put it up forsale, I just dont really have time for it..got too many projects and I need a starter box, receiver pack and tx/rx to get this going. Figured I would let someone else enjoy it and ill look at getting a car in the future.
