I already have a personal transponder, so that's covered.
Tires I don't know really, as I got my car second-hand. I think it is a hardness 18 tire in the rear, front I forgot, but there were some spares in the box. I'll just see how it drives, otherwise swap them for different ones when need be.
I will start with a 16T or 17T motor, otherwise I might even launch the car of the track right into the clubhouse.
What would be a good and reliable (maintanance wise also) motor to start with?

Look for motors from Orion, Peak, Reedy, anything you can get your hands on for a good price. You'll be upgrading to a twelve when you get to a larger track, or get your car's handling down. When you get it right, you should faster than any of the sedan's, even if they do run 12turns.
If you get a good quality motor, you can later upgrade it with a twelve turn armature, to make a good training motor for the very least.

If it doesn't have that, it's useless after about 20 runs. Avoid Corally's motors, they're not good. The top bearing is squezed in the can so tight it just doesn't work right. Super wear on the bearing, slow motors, hot motors, poor speed and run time.

Any good ones I forgot?

I am also planning to get my own comm lathe, only downside is the pricing of these things. Ouchy...
But hey, what's a hobby if it doesn't cost you any money.

Hmmm, Reedy is pretty high priced. For the beginning, I'll try out the Trinity SpeedGem Pro or the Peak Racing Jaguar.
But very much thanks for the info.

Marka, do you know any reasonably priced comm lathe for Neelon? Here in Holland there's only the Hudy lathe. I have one, but it comes at an astronomical price, about 240 euros. Maybe Cobra or something.
Neelon, when you get one, I'll fill you in about how to achieve the best result with it, as well as how to shimm your motor, and other basic motor maintainance rules you'll want to know.

I will say, the Hudy is very sweet lathe. However, what I use and have had for years now, is the simple old Cobra one. It doesn’t have the frills of the Hudy but it works. You can get it packaged with the diamond bit for @$155-$160 here in the states (see https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...l?pn=COB2000WD for an example) which is a bit cheaper than the Hudy at $150+80 for a diamond bit over here. I dunno about the price of the Cobra in Holland though.
