Right people, I want to set my friends a challenge.
I want to give them just the bare basics to build an all-terrain R.C. car and have them build them on a budget.

What would be the basic parts i would need to give them to build an electric car each?
and is there any chance anyone could supply a full list of parts needed so i can give them that at least.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for being a complete noob.

Latest from Orion:

Team Orion is proud to announce that we have just opened new offices in Thailand: Team Orion Asia Company Ltd is born!

With Team Orion Asia Company Ltd. located in Asia, we have strongly strengthened our position in this huge and fast growing market. Once again Team Orion is able to consistently follow its global strategy – even during this economically difficult time.

With the background of the successful strategies of our companies in Europe, Japan and the USA, Team Orion Asia will be able to perfectly serve the demands of the Asian market. The best knowledge of the respective local needs and mentality are essential to thrive in Asia. With Porapong “Jarb” Ratanarat we not only found a huge RC car enthusiast but also a very talented man with great marketing and language skills. He will lead the new company to build a flourishing business in his home markets.

Who is Porapong “Jarb” Ratanarat?

Jarb was born in Thailand in 1982. After his high school time in New Zealand, he got his engineering degree from Durham University, England which is the first engineering department in England. RC cars were a family hobby since ever, and Jarb got his first car at 8 years old. Later a great friendship with former Team Orion driver Surikarn started – and soon, Jarb met Oscar Jansen. Friendship, hobby and business were combined harmonically. Now the son of the boss of a big oil blending company in Thailand takes the opportunity to start a fantastic new project: the foundation of Team Orion Asia Company Ltd and the development of a new, promising business is on the way.

Development of new products

A lot of testing of Team Orion products has been done in Thailand. The consistently hot climate is very demanding for all RC car components – perfect to stress the material to its limits. Team Orion ensures that the final product will deliver best performance even under the toughest conditions.

With Team Orion Asia Company Ltd we will even be closer to the Asian market. In very close collaboration with Electric R&D manager Oscar Jansen and Nitro R&D manager Adrien Bertin, Jarb will help developing products for the local needs in the future.

Team Orion Asia warehouse

Team Orion Asia Company Ltd will be in charge of a warehouse to stock the complete Team Orion product range. This allows us to reduce delivery time and give best support to our customers, while maintaining good pricing. Thanks to Team Orion Asia special facility we are able to reduce cost and achieve maximum performance for the Asian market!

Distributing area

Team Orion Asia Company Ltd will be responsible for the whole Asian area outside Japan. Also the company will serve the Middle East, New Zealand and Australia. Please contact us for distribution inquiries.

Stronger than ever

Team Orion has a very powerful global sales network. With the addition of Team Orion Asia we are reinforcing this position. The extension of our worldwide racing team with another World Champion announced last week is one more step of this strategy. We will soon confirm the name of this driver. Thanks for the many guesses on the different websites!

We would like to thank Jarb for his entrepreneurial courage and engagement! If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact us at europe@teamorion.com

According to all the specs this takes 4s lipos! but on this page in the config it looks like its compatible with up to 6s??

Is this tru, I'm looking for something cheaper solution than the mamba monster esc for my emaxx, but still remaining reliable.

Here is the page where the specs are questionable, I'm hoping this esc support 5 or 6s without the bec that would be great.

hopefully not a typo, please take a look for me,

"DieCast Garage Dairy Delivery"

Recently I designed and printed Decals for some '56 Panel Trucks that Famous Flying Ace made for Diecast Garage aka ublswheels.com

Like HobbyTalk the Garage is another user friendly site that has a core of regular members who always welcomes those from other Boards.

Here's one of 2 Dairy's I'm making,

A Gorilla walks into a Bar.
The Bartender looks at him and says,"What can I get for you?"
The Gorilla sits on the stool and says,"Make me a Jack Daniels on the rocks."
The Bartender gives the Gorilla his drink and says, "That'll be .50."

The Gorilla looks up on the shelf behind the bar and says,"Hey, are those some of CadillacPat's Customs up there? I can always recognize those 3D radiant Rainbow Graphics."
The Bartender says,"Yes, he makes his own Decals on an InkJet Printer."
The Gorilla is startled and says,"On an InkJet?? But the colors are so rich and vibrant, How does he get those InkJet Decals to show up and glow bright on those dark backgrounds??"

The Bartender shrugs his shoulders and says," I have no idea, it must be Magic."
The Bartender looks at the Gorilla and says,"You know we don't get too many Gorillas in here."
And the Gorilla replies," Well at .50 a drink I can see why."

The Dairy is primered and then based with Shimrin White,
Shot overall with Stratto Blue,
Then Intercoat Cleared, taped and shot Black
Decals and Details are applied,
Center Cap for the Gas Cap,
Quad Frenched Rhinestone Headlights ala Rhinestone Cowboy.
Cleared with HOK Urethane Clear with Lavender Pearl-Ex Powder.
With the Lavender Pearl-Ex Powder the Black shifts to Purple and the Blue glows Pink in the Sunlight.
You can get the same Color shift effects using Pearl Powders as you can from expensive Chameleon Paints.
Actually the Color shifts are not nearly as gaudy as Chameleon Paints.

All Products Used Are Exclusively House Of Kolor, Of Course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wheels and tires are from the Jada AC Cobra.

We're seeing a lot of crossing over between friendly sites Like HobbyTalk, DieCast Garage, DieCast Diner, DieCastLive and DiecastsPlus,
This is good for all the Members and good for all the sites.

Keep an eye out for the next DieCast Garage Dairy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
