Hitec Hs-645mg - 30.00 from Tower Hobbies Flysky remote - 45.00 or so from Hobby Partz Tekin B1R - 50.00 or so from Tower Hobbies Hobby Partz has lipos really cheap. Then the motor part is tough. There is a site that is selling the Mamba Micro Pro for 99 shipped. |

May I direct you to this thread. Someone asked the same question last week and I made a list of the cheapest way but also done right. It includes links to the parts. I put 2 of these together within a couple of weeks and they work great. budget MRC pro roller build - Newbie needing help! |

I just ordered one and I don't think it does. However the MRC pro came with a pinion gear. I'll have to check the tooth count though. | |

The supplied pinion is a 14 tooth. The best upgrade is practice time. Tires and wheel weights are next. Bent links in the rear are nice but not a high priority. There are lots of bling upgrades but most will not add performance benefits (except in the sellers' pockets). |

So far I see aluminum Knuckles to be a good buy. I want to get that mamba micro pro. Seems like a good deal for 99 shipped. |
