Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi what will be needed to complete this? Will I have to assemble chassis and parts or just put the motor and esc and servos in?
Corey / 10th September 2019

This is a full kit - so requires full assembly.

You will need motor, radio gear and battery/charger. We've now added some combo packs to show some recommended setup items :-)
