nice! dont get it from ganki bro its too expensice. 50 bucks for the body alone and 25-30 shipping so basically 80 bucks for an HPI body with no light buckets. Try looking it up on ebay. seen some for 18 bucks plus shipping.

Genkidoridori is expensive with shipping. But to get started you can get RTR kits like the HPI sprint 2 flux and just get a body of your choice. Sprint 2 is a good chassis to start off with and eventually move up to something better. or get a used one and see how you like the hobby.

what you will need(electric RC)
-chassis
-radio/transmitter 2.4ghz or standard 75mhz is fine
-brushed or brushless motor
-ESC(electronic speed control) brushed or brushless
-Lipo battery
-Steering servo(comes with radio
-battery charger

those are pretty much the basics to get it going. There are so many options you can choose but PM me if you have any questions
