Thanks for the info. So right now I have the following for specifics based on that info that I am looking at:

- Receiver pack (LiFE or LiPO, cutoff for packs?)

* PTK-4060 - Protek Lipo Cutoff Switch

- .21 Engine, Pipe / Manifold, Glow Plugs

* Novarossi .21 Paloma Limited Edition, 51013 / EFRA 3005 Pipe, MANIFOLD #41020, Glowplug: Turbo (C6TGC)

* Novarossi S21P5XLT 5 Port .21, 51013 / EFRA 3005 Pipe, MANIFOLD #41020, Glowplug: Turbo (C6TGC)

NOTE: confirm at the tracks what are common temperature plugs to have on hand

- Spare Air Filters

* Protek Dust Buster 2 Airfilter foam

- Screw driver to adjust engine settings
* on hand

- Air Filter Oil
* Dynamite Air Filter Oil (on hand already)

- Starter Box

* Lutz Modded Ofna Box
* Protek Starter Box

- Glow Ignitor

* Great Planes Long ProGlo Starter w/Meter & Charger

- Fuel bottle with cap that is attached

* Serpent Fuel Bottle (500cc)
* HPI Racing 500cc Fuel Bottle

- Fuel Line

* Kyosho as needed

- Fuel Filter(s) (not sure how many?)

* included with kit

- Fuel (what percentage is good for 1/8 usage)

* check local, Byrons 25% probably

- Clutch Bell(s) (not sure how many are good to get)

* Comes with kit, check if vehicle has sufficient one included

- Clutch Shoes and Springs

* REDS Clutch setup, confirm size relative to vehicle being used

- Sealant for the carb

Temperature resistant Silicone

- After-run oil

* Great Planes Afterrun Oil


Few questions:

- What if anything are people using for voltage cutoff devices for the receiver and bump box batteries?

- Is it common for fuel bottles to not have the cover secured in any way so it doesn't get lost?

- Does the REDS clutch include the various combinations of shoes they mention on amain? If not, what should I get as spare shoes? Also, is it common to buy spare bearings for this? (sorry, don't know how all this works)
