Kits
Di pa muna me makaka-punta this Friday. Meron ho bang available na kit na right within my budget para mabili ko na at mapa-andar agad? Yun nga lang hindi ko makukuha ng Friday kasi busy ho ako on those days. Siguro pwede ko siyang kunin ng thursday next week kung meron. Naku, complikado yata ang situation ko. Many thanks!

Siguro, tingin-tingin ka muna sa http://towerhobbies.com so you'll have an idea on what you're getting into. You also have to consider some maintenance cost for your kit dahil somehow part will worn-out and break down. Most of us start on a lower end kit like my TB01 but ending up with a high end one. Sabi ko din noon, tama na sa akin yun...
Pasyal ka dito minsan ng makita mo mga kit ng grupo...

Mga sirs,
Thank you for all the leads. Given budget restrictions, I think I'll start with the more basic ones and I will see from there if I will go deeper into the hobby. In that case, I think the best thing to do is to buy online. I will look at rcmart.com to see how it is done. If ever, ngayon pa lang ako mag-oonline transaction. If anyone won't mind, madali lang ba magpasok ng mga kits and everything related to it dito sa Saudi using rcmart? Meron na ho ba ditong nag-online na sa rcmart? How many days does it usually take to receive the order? Thank you very much.

kit
Also, I would recommend this kit for the price value..
Tamiya TA-05R part no. 49418, belt drive chassis, no wheels, no body..(US$210)
http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=23138
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=49418
This kit has upgraded parts, you can use this kit to race with more expensive cars.. and able to keep up with them, that depends on the driver's skill..

beginners intro to rc hobby
Basically what would happen if you are a beginner getting into this hobby is you're thinking that the basic (cheaper kit) will make you satisfied... but if you are going to enter the competitive area of racing... you will be wanting more from the kit. So if you're goal is to race, try to get the best equipments that your budget will allow, even if it means buying the second hand (used) equipments from racers, mostly you can get that for half the original price... check ebay or manila rctech for sale thread.

Recommended race bodies..., protoform shells (US$17)

RC Shops in Bahrain
I have some friends who are going to Bahrain two weeks from now. Balak kong mag-pabili sa kanila ng kit. Meron ho ba ditong may alam kung saan merong RC shop sa Bahrain? Salamat po.

if all is sold, sino kaya ngayon si mang pakyaw???
about the shipping, even Barahim honestly told me they have trouble with customs here. kaya mahal ang kits nila kasi they have to make 'padulas' u know. filips style!
they sacrifice the price if box was openes (like what happened to ESSO).
sir grizzle, hope we can meet later for the C-hub. ill go to barahim to get my charger, inshallah nagawa nila ng paraan, kundi yari ako at slow charger lang ako.
i am now really discharging using the vacuum cleaner! ill post some pics! inside this is an original jhonson 540 motor!
