Kit - $99
ESC - could use one already owned or pick up one (Duratrax model $30)
Battery - 4 cell 4.8v $15.39
Mabuchi silver can - $20
Grand total - around $175
Anyone wanna get this class going?
I think you will find the 17.5 no timing class more fun and really not that expensive.
Needed:
17.5 Motor ($80)
ESC (Novak GTB $100 or Castle MMP $125)
Servo (Savox SC-1251MG Low Profile $60)
Used Kit ($200 - $300)
Body ($25)
Tires ($35)
Battery (use the one you already have)
Total: $500 - $600
Yes its more - but you can go any where and race against the majority of the entries and be competitive (Marcca included). The sedan class at Marcca is growing every week. Not to mention its likely you have an extra servo, esc, motor laying around that you could use.
Just pull the trigger, take the money from the sale of your alpha and spend it on a sedan.
Not to mention - Are you sure you really want to run brushed motor and NiMh.
