You'd need the kit, battery, radio w/steering servo, and charger. Of course, other small things like tools for assembly, paint for the body, etc.

For inexpensive batteries, I'd check out HobbyKing. They come from overseas, so the shipping is not fast, but you really cannot beat the price. I prefer Futaba radios, and you can get a decent Futaba pistol 2.4GHz from Tower for well under $200. Use EasyPay and you can spread it out over 3 payments. For a servo, you have quite a few options, and really depends on how much you want to spend. I went with Savox, which isn't the cheapest, but dollar for dollar it's the best, IMO (much cheaper than an equivalent metal gear digital Futaba servo).

Hey, I'm getting it slowly put together! If I can get enough time to myself tonight, I should be able to finish it up.
