Audi/Tamiya R/C advice needed!

[Tom Nas <tnas@euronet.nl>]

Hi all,

I've just received 'payment' for a job I did a while ago, in the form of a
Tamiya 1:10 R/C A4 BTCC racer. Cool toy!

I'm a newbie at R/C, and would like some advice on what I need to buy in
addition to this kit. It includes a speed controller (Tamiya 3-speed +
reverse), but not the actual remote control, a battery or a battery charger.
Will the speed controller work with any generic remote control, or will I
have to buy a matching remote unit? What's there to look out for when
buying these?

Also, any pointers for building the kit will be much appreciated. I've seen
references to this kit on the list before, so I know there are more of you
who've built one of these.

TIA!

Tom
