I am thinking of going Team Orion 10.5 Vortex (new can) as far as esc I am thinking Tekin RS as I can pick those up cheap used. I just don't have the 2-4 weeks to wait for the Xerun 120a 1s to ship.
Now I do have the receiver pack one dynamite 180mAh 2s 20c 7.4v and Protek RC LiFe 6.6v 200mAh. Do you need special charger to charge LiFe packs?
Thanks in advance for all help!
A 10.5 with a Tekin and timing etc should be power more than anyone in your position just starting out could ever want. As for tools you will not need droop blocks. The tools I use about any time I work on my GXL goes...
Allens
.050"
1/16"
5/64"
3/32"
Nut Drivers
3/16"
11/32"
Ride height gauge
sliding camber gauge
turn buckle wrench
needle nose pliers
tweezers
calipers
good set of eyeballs
Pane of glass for set up
You can get a tweak board if you want but I wouldn't say its necessary.
I can't help ya with the charge info as I run boosters.
