Hello, I am COMPLETELY new to the R/C car community. I think these hobbies are fascinating. I want to get an 1/5 or 1/8 electric off road car. I want it to be able to hit speeds of 40-50mph and be relatively reliable…..

What kind of maintenance is needed? All you do is plug it to a/c outlet, let the batteries charge, and go drive for 10 minutes?? What are servos? What do need is besides the car? What are some good extra parts to stock up and replace for maintenance? What kind of control do I need? I want to hit 40-50mph…..I have tons of other questions……

If anybody can explain to me everything about getting, what kind of maintenance, what car to buy for my needs ^^^^, that would be greatly appreciated!! I would even send you like $3 via paypal if you answer all my questions….
Please answer my newbie questions!

What kind of tools can take these cars apart? Allen hex key tools?
