thank you... also is it recommended that you get a fuel filter for the engine? i recently bought the novarossi in box air filter..... should i get a fuel filter?

It's not really needed as the fuel tank has a filter built in. I haven't used one in years. It's really just a personal choice depending on your race habits and environment.

i have also bought a sanwa 4 channel mt-s radio.........how good is this radio ? and do i need a rpm sensor as well ?

Can you recommend which battery pack i can use in my capricorn c803 kit to power my receiver?

The radio will be fine for you, no problem at all. No you do not need or want an RPM sensor.

Any stick 2s stick Rx pack will fit. Either Lipo or Life depending upon if you are using HV or regular 6v servos. Personally I use Reedy or LRP in my 1/8 cars.

Personally yes you should run a filter between the tank and carb. In my experience the inline filter has also caught debris. It's inexpensive and worth using.

One of these is a LiFe battery but if you use HV servos, any of the others (LiPo will be better due to their higher capacity)
These are all from AMain hobbies. If you are planning to place an order from RC Target, they will likely have receiver batteries as well.
Make sure you have a LiPo safe battery charger as well as you don't want to risk destroying your battery.

what about this one ?

That will work but 1/8 is pretty demanding on the electronics which is why most people tend to recommend Lithium based batteries these days.

Not recommended at all. Life will be compatible with all servos. Also remember that Life/Lipo must be charged with the correct type charger. A cheap Tx/Rx wall charger type that you could use with the pack you linked above cannot be used.

ok noted. i took the advice and bought the reedy battery pack

Thats great! Good luck and enjoy. Just remember to use the correct charger for the pack.
