HobbyKing Sabertooth Nitro Basher

[AJegidi]

Just purchased a Sabertooth Nitro Basher. i was looking to get back into a nitro r/c and this one popped for a decent price so i jumped on it. I have a buncch of electric r/c, but haven't had a nitro one in 15 plus years. I know is been discontinued for a while, so parts are not readily available. But like i said... the price was right so ill roll the dice. So a couple of beginner questions

-How do i know what(if any) starter boxes are compatible?
-Battery packs for Servo/Rx/Tx - what's recommended?
-Came ARR, so no Rx/Tx - I have a spare Spektrum DX3 with SR6110at. i assume it would be compatible?
-Any other tips for this unit would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Showed up today, got it assembled (seller partially disassembled it for cheaper shipping) started right up. Installed a futaba 3pv system I had, overall a cool little truggy. Only issue I had with purchase was the lack of protection that the seller put in it, body has a crack in it because of the lack of bubble wrap or paper. Keep an eye open for a nice lid for me!

Wow that’s kind of crappy for the seller to ship without any protection. You’d think he’d want to do everything to minimize risk of a return.
