it is a pretty good kit, but isn't a very good crawler or basher. light trail driving is really all it can do without a whole bunch of mods. you will need a phillips screw driver and a 7mm nut driver. it is a pretty simple kit, but not "easy" you will need a servo, something with 120+ oz in of torque and a radio. I would go for the futaba 3pl, as it is 2.4 ghz, and great for the money. you will also need a brushed esc, and i think a motor (some tamiya kits come with motors, some not) and if yours doesn't, you will need a motor too.
