Default Re: New to rc truck building - planned first builds

The trucks are pretty much the same so go with what you like. With the race truck set aside.

To get the tractor working, you will need:
1)Truck kit
2)MFC ("brains of it" and ESC)
3)Bearings
4)4 channel radio
5)3 servo's (steering, shift, and trailer support legs)
6)Battery (no lipo w/MFC)
7)Battery charger
8)Paint of course

Trailer is a nice pick. Extra options (Hop-Ups) would be:
1)Trailer light kit
2)support leg kit
3)Bearings

This will give you a "full function" truck and really fun to operate.

Do all upgrades while you build it. Or you have to take it apart to install later. (Not Fun)

Many after market items available. Wheels, tires, accessories, etc... You can add extra lights with different options there.
Sky is the limit there.

Hope this helps, sorry so late for response.
