I know I'm going to go with the Tekin RS Pro ESC and 13.5 Redline sensored motor, SMC 28C 5000mAh Lipo's, DX3r/sr3100 and IDK what servo...which buggy is the best for starters?
Buy A 2wd that your local hobby shop stock parts for.
With a 13.5 you can get Tekin RS. The Tekin RS Pro's are made to handle 5.5 and lower motors that you will never use in a 2wd buggy. Cost alittle cheaper.
The RS also, takes the Hotwire if you deside to buy a Hotwire to download new software on the ESC.

Good luck desiding and have fun racing.
