Keep in mind I will be using my Receiver, Transmitter, Motor, and ESC that I already have. Also the Body will be bought separately.

I have updated the wish list with the latest changes suggested (except the pinion gear as I am unsure how many teeth to start out with.). I have also added the body.

Glad to hear. We worked on the set up that is noted in the box for a good amount of time so it would work for most racers. After you get used to your car and grip, you should drive mine. As Eric put it, I can't remember driving a car that had that much turn in ........ as he proceeded to short the first 7 corners even after I told him to drive past the corner and then turn until he got used to it. ........

For WGT 13.5 with timing you'll need pinions in the 32-38 range when using the 88 spur that comes with the kit.

Make sure you buy some extra front end parts; arms, caster blocks, kingpins (most everyone runs 12th scale kingpins not the 1/10 scale that come with the kit), front springs .45, .50, & .55.

Some additional items to consider; white Kimbrough servo saver, 4mm top deck from CRC unless you’re going to get the rear pod top plate brace from Manutech, extra lower rear pod plate.

As you know most people at COR are running CRC WGT so there are parts around if you get in a pinch.

Glade to see another WGT racer joining the crowd, look forward to racing with you.

Thank you all for your input.

I have determined that I will wait on the extra parts as the full amount is getting to be a little much for the wife to handle. Please let me know if I need anything else with this setup.

These are the optional parts that I am going to wait on. Please let me know if there are any other optional parts that I may need to put on standby.

Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Kind regards,

I bought everything that was on the list except for all the pinon gears.

Saved some money by buy the items from three different places (Even with shipping). Nexus (Mostly all car stuff), A Main Hobbies (Servo, Transmitter case, bumper), and GS Hobby (1/8 Hauler).

Thanks again for all your help. This club has made me feel welcome and I am looking forward to getting my car built and on the track.

See you all at the track once everything is built and ready to go.

Kind regards,
JD

Default Time for RCOLDMAN to retire...

All,

Due to some upcoming personal changes, I've decided to retire and sell all my R/C racing gear. I've made a brief listing in the For Sale Section, and will post more items and pictures shortly.

I wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the good times at CORRC. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone's company, conversation, and great racing. I'll also miss the nightly trips to Applebees for the racing de-brief sessions.

It's been a pleasure racing with you all, and I'm sure I'll "un-retire" some day in the future.

Best Regards,
Eric Davis (RCOLDMAN)
