HELP!!!
I’m new in this RC hobby and I hope you can help me with some stuff:

1. What brand of RC kit is suitable for a starter like me to equip myself for future competitions for STOCK class?
2. What kind of body shell is most suitable for a race?
3. What parts, electronics and equipments do I need for the hobby as well for the hop- ups to be race worthy?
4. Will the MC 330 and MJ remote control be enough for stock racing?
5. Are there any clubs that holds small races for my busy schedule and where are the race tracks located?
6. What kind of race should I go to open or branded kits?
7. What kind of race style should I choose “grip” or “drift”

Im thinking what group or class of race should I go to that. Thanks for looking out bro

I think you are looking for sedan or touring car? Set yourself a dollar amount. Then pick you items according to importance. Drifting isnt racing is just having fun in a parking lot that you can do with a 50$ car. If you plan to race you will need to go in an entirely different direction.

1- any brand name car will do, check your local hobby shop to see what they support, check your local track to see what is being run, dont buy an ebay rtr special...... all major brands can win, also read your mags for race coverage to see what brands do well at big races

2-mostly protoform bodies choose a roar legal 190mm

3-charger, batteries, tires, spare parts

4-yes

5-no idea where you live check your yellow pages

6-no sure what you mean?

7-GRIP racing is what most racing is, touring car or sedan as we call it is the most popular, Drifting is fun basher type activity that could just be a passing fad but like the post above any car will drift.

1. Tamiya TA05 strong and fast out of the box.

2. Protoform Mazda 6, Stratus 3, G6

3. Duratrax ICE charger, IB4200 batteries get cheaper packs for now, for tyres ask what the locals are running.

4. Yes that is fine to get started with

6. IF you enter the STOCK class it is open chassis.

7. Which ever you prefer but this is a setup to go 'grip' racing.

Make your you get a Legal stock motor to run in the stock class.
e.g C027, monster etc

Hope this helps
