Any worthwhile radio system is going to be 3-4-6 channel. Steering servo... well local shops tend not to have great selections. You can go cheap, and at first you won't notice the difference, but a "good" servo makes a huge difference as you get better.

The manual will tell you the paint you need to replicate the box art. Budget some masking tape too. And buy white or silver paint to back up the color you paint the body. Since you're going to be bashing, pick up some e6000 or shoe goo, and fiberglass drywall tape. If you're feeling froggy, some aluminum duct sealing tape is a good idea too. You use the aluminum tape where the tires might rub. You use the glue and tape where the body might crack.

You'll want a 4-7000mah 2s lipo pack. And a charger. A "b6" series charger is probally what you should hunt down.

The skyrc D100 is perfect.

Radios are a religion. I drink the Spektrum KoolAid. The new DX5 radios do all the things you need. Others like Futaba, some frsky. Sanwa seems to be more popular for the ground guys than air people.

Your charger is perfect and completely capable of charging 2S lipos. Just plug balance lead into 2S port on balance board and set charger up for 2S balance charge. Lots of good batteries out there. I have had great luck with protek Batteries. Iwould recommend staying away from cheap radio system. I run and recommend Futaba stuff. The 3PV isn't too expensive and has lots of features. Sanwa and Spectrum also have descent entry level stuff too. Savox servos are descent, but my recommendation is the new Protek HV servos. Pricey but worth it imo. Gens ace batteries are also a great value and I have had some last several years.

Assuming you're budget conscious, building a stock TT02 kit:

Batteries - search Hobbyking for "7.2V stick pack". Any of the Sub-C stick packs will fit - note the higher capacity packs are heavier. Personally I've got a few of the turnigy 2000mAh packs (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-...ries-nimh.html) which should give you 10+ minutes run time on a stock motor
Paint - search "Tamiya PS"
Battery Charger*:

Tamiya battery plug to banana plugs cable for charging with above charger:

Have personally used all of the above and can recommend them for the price. *For the Accucell battery charger you need to buy a suitable 12V DC powersupply if you don't already have one. I use a laptop power brick style 12V DC, 5Amps: https://www.newark.com/powerpax/sw37...14_US%2Fsearch
Might need to cut and splice the barrel jack cable included with the accucell to your powersupply because the accucell uses a DC jack with a 2.5mm pin rather than the more common 2.1mm
Could probably get away with a cheaper wallwart style trickle charger if you plan to only ever use NiMH packs, but the accucell is definitely worth it if you want to fast charge larger capacity packs and future proofs you for LiPos.

T3PV

I would also recommend Futaba stuff. I have T3PV in use for nearly 2 years and I'm totally satisfied. This thing ist well done, sturdy, range more than sufficient, use with multiple receivers in several Cars as easy as it can be.
Different setings can be confusing at the beginning, but you get used to it rather quick.

That's a good servo. I use it in my 4wd buggy and Mini. But, the battery recomendation isn't good. One of the biggest thigns that has made this hobby so much ~better~ are lipo batterys. He's also got a lipo charger already, so recomending a PSU, DC charger, and Nicad/nimh isn't to his advantage.

... I didn't recomend a servo because I was under the impression they were buying from the local shop.

Don't get any radio with driver assistance. Such as Spectrum AVC recivers. They don't play nice with the ESC that comes with the TT-02. Had it in one of my cars and I think it smokes the ESC and motors. Have another TT-02 with a Spectrum DX5R radio and a S6240Rx servo/reciver and it works great.

That should work. If you get into racing, I would get a DX5R. Think the new one is DX5pro. It has a faster response time then the one you got. You can go all out and get a Sanwa m12s, or the m17 they just came out with. The 2 things I look for when buying a radio is response time and expo option.
