i've only purchased rtr kits in the past, is there anything else i'll need to build the x3 roller?

engine, radio, servos?
Ison engine is a good choice, radio is personal preference but I've run Futaba for 20+ years. Servos need to be high torque, my preference is High Voltage / High Torque. Servos will cost close to what the car does, but you will be happier with it on the track.

Parts for the X3, 10 degree hubs, buggy crown and pinion gear (43/13), metal break disk and fiber pads (get rid of the fiber disk and metal plates). The other items will help, but not required.
