Hi,
Excuse my newness and apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place!
I've always had a yearning, from a very young age, to get into RC cars and now that my son is getting to a certain age I think this could be a great hobby for us both to share in.
Therefore I've been doing a lot of research into a good starter model that we can build from scratch and the Condor Nitro Self Build kit seems to be fit for purpose in that for a decent price you get everything you need in one box along with detailed instructions to assist the build. Couple of questions that I can't find an answer to anywhere though.
Thanks for listening!
Paul

- I have very little experience of the workings of an engine - would that be a disadvantage when going for a self build?
- Are these kits really likely to be build and go? I'd envisaged that a lot of constant tuning would be required to get the most from an RC? My lack of mechanical knowledge I feel could therefore count against me.
- Can anyone advise any good resources for reading up for newbies to give a good basic all round knowledge? This website has proved useful but I'm looking for a good central resource to provide as much general basic knowledge before I make a purchase
- Oh and one final point - is Nitro a suitable point of entry or should I really be considering an alternate power source?
Thanks for listening!
Paul
