I am contemplating getting my first on road car. I am a dedicated Team Associated RC'r. I have an RC8T Nitro, a RC8T Tekno chassis electric, a RC8B nitro, a SC10-RS, and two RC10 4x4's. My son and I love RC Racing and wrenching.

I was looking at getting the TC6 to start with. It looks like a typical awesome AE car.

Can you suggest some parts (by part number) to have on hand because my hobby shop doesn't really stock much and if I break on race day it is game over. Just a list of some good to have parts and parts that need replacing to keep the car tight and race ready.

Also, I wanted to get a castle creation ESC and motor. but not totally against getting something else. Can you suggest a size because KV and turn is kinda confusing. The track is not huge or anything. I think the avg laptime is around 25 seconds or so. Is a hitec 7940 overkill for the steering? any suggestions, was also considering the Savox.

Also, any very "good to have or really improved hop ups" that are highly recommended?

I am excited to finally give on-road a shot. I thank you in advance.
