I use hobbyking and hobbypartz .com They can be hit or miss though. That being said, I haven't had any problems with anything I've bought.

I use a couple Flysky GT3B Radio and receivers. I hacked them to make them superb units! Search Hacked GT3B for tons of info.

I use the newer flysky receivers with the higher voltage rating of 8.4 volts.

In my Dingo I use a castle Sidewinder with a 55turn motor, but I just ordered 2 cheap RC4wd 35t motors and a dual motor mount for the Dingo. I can let you know how those go.

Hobbypartz.com has super cheap servos too. The Solar brand is cheap and durable.
I use the D771 servo in my dingo. If you need even more power at a slower speed buy the D772. They aren't waterproof but thats super easy!

PM me if you need anymore info. Happy to help!

What's your budget?

[insutama]

i want good quality stuff and the best value lol i dont wanna cheap out but at same time i dont wanna spend more than i really need to

[insutama]

Is it just me or is it cheaper to make it a brushless set up ?

[TrilloThrillo110]

It's probably just you unless your comparing a junk brushless against quality brushed.
And when I ask what your budget is, I mean price

I would recommend a tekin fxr esc and their 45t motor, a castle BEC, and a hitec 7950 servo. I also recommend going with 3s lipo batteries with that setup. I run the dx3c radio and it works great on all my rigs. The setup i recommended is basically what i run in 3 of my scx's and i never have any issues.

awsome great thanks alot and what would be the best place to buy that setup ?

I buy most of my parts from my local hobbyshop, but i make the odd order to rpphobby.com for stuff i cant get locally or out of the classifieds here

[ejohnson]

I would recommend the 35 turn motor for the bit extra wheel speed. The best place to get it would be RPP Hobby | Radio Controlled Cars, Trucks, Boats, Helis, Planes, Plastic Models

The radio is a good radio and should suit your needs.

For electronics if you want to go brushed which is still the best for low speed crawling; I recommend the Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR-XL esc and one of his $35.00 motors in either a 27T or a 35T.

If you must go brushless just make sure its a sensored system and if you go with 3s power make sure to set aside a good chunk of money for drivetrain upgrades rather brushed or brushless

I just bought the TorqueMaster BR-XL to replace my RTR esc on my Honcho so I can use it on another project im doing...I had/have more than enough torque and speed with a 27T brushed motor and a 2s battery. (16/87 gearing with 1.9 Tires)..Stock drive shafts ,trans gears etc...Zero breakage in just over 4 months.

I would second this opinion. I just got a dingo kit myself which I plan to turn into a class 1 rig. I will be using the stock axial AE-2 from my wraith rtr (built by castle), a 35t motor I found in the classifieds, one of the hitec servos mentioned below, a Castle BEC and a 2s or 3s hardpack I already have.

Assuming you are interested in mostly crawling and some trail running, I would make the following recommendations for you:

• Hacked gt3c or gt3b from overkillrc.com ~ $50 - $75
• used axial AE-2 or Castle Sidewinder v3 ~ $25 - $65
• Holmes Hobbies 27t or 35t torquemaster sport ~ $35
• used Hitec 7955, 7954, or 7950 servo ~ $75ish
• Castle BEC ~ $20
• Castle link usb programmer ~ $20
• quality wire and bullet connectors for motor leads $??
• A bunch of male and female connectors of your choice (EC3, Deans, Traxxas etc...) $??

And if you don't already have them...

• decent basic soldering iron (stahl) and spool of solder ~ $50
• helping hands alligator clip soldering tool ~ $20

I hope this helps, let us know what you decide to do!

100 % agree on everything here except the radio. Browse Ebay for a high end radio like the MT4 that will have resale value way and feels way better in your hand.
