Hi, I have purchased a Mission FT as my first on road car. I read this is a good start for beginners however I've only ever had buggies and I'm really struggling with the extra parts needed to build the car. I would prefer to buy parts that can be used for racing in the future.

This is what I'm looking at, from Smokem, they seem to have everything. If I'm on the wrong track please let me know.

Servo - SRT CH6012

Body - Mon-tech-019-007-Mito-RX or Mon-tech 019-017 308 TCR

Wheels - Difficult to find anything I like or know whether they will fit, but maybe these - Ride 26071 24mm Grooved

Lipo - Silverback Spiral III 4400mAh 120C 7.4V LCG Shorty Pack (5mm Tubes)

ESC - Hobbywing XERUN XR10 Justock

Motor - I have a 13.5t so will start with that.

Pinion - this is where I have no idea, I believe I should have a FDR around 5 for 13.5t motor

Check your local clubs/tracks for the rules they race with. And check whether they are running with some kind of approval list for bodies/tyres/batteries/motors. Would be a shame to buy stuff based on a recommendation from RCTech that you can't actually race with.

Also there is a thread for the Mission FT further up the board which has lots of info in it.
