Hi guys

New to this forum, and was wondering if I was missing anything. I'm looking at getting a buggy kit with a few mods and was hoping for a bit of help. I've got a list of things that I'm interested in and was wondering if I was missing anything. Not too sure about the engine as well.

Ansmann Racing Virus 2 Buggy Kit

LRP A2-STX Pro 2.4GHz F.H.S.S. Combo

Hitec 645 MG BB Servo x2

Picco Buggy 6 Port .21 Eco Engine

M-troniks Micro Failsafe

OS No.8 Glowplug - Medium

Feel free to gimme some constructive criticism and also I could do with some information on good glow plugs and what would be an ideal replacement if this one is any good

Thanks in advance
 
there a fail safe built into the radio gear combo so no need for the other one I've found it can be just luck with glow plugs

I take it from the wording in the list that you looking at getting it from modelsport uk
that might be a mistake as there after sales support is about the wost in the uk i got the same kit from them but there where small problems with it and they told me it my problem not there's so if you are buying from them be careful
 
thanks for that i wont be getting it from model sports uk as good afterservice is a must have,whould you know of any other good places where i can get these items from in the uk.

also do you or anyone else know the differences in glowpugs i.e. the differences between cold, warm, hot. i have no idea what that means
 
Wheelspin models do the kit about the same price they can be slow at shipping but there good at helping

Not sure about the radio gear or servos if your set on those one you might have to get them from model sport

Plugs i am not sure about the guy in my lhs know my cars and tells me what to use I've not had many go on me hopefully one of the guys on here will help you out with that
