Kraig - Thanks for the battery tip. I've always used tape on my batteries so that part doesn’t bother me. Is there anything else I should know about before building the car? I heard a few people were having issues with building shocks, though it doesn’t seem all that difficult.
AeRacer805 - I believe its silver in the back. I'll probably just start with the base setup and work from there. I'll pick up spring colors you mentioned though.
I really want to pick up a kit this week and build it over the holiday. Anyone know a good online hobby shop that has decent prices on the TC5R, or one with coupon codes? My LHS only carries the foam edition so I have to go the online route.
Anyway, I'll probably have a bunch of build/setup questions once I get started. The site/forum seems to help resolve all sorts of issues.
I'm pretty excited about getting back into the hobby, and the TC5 looks like the way to go.
