I have followed RC Airplanes since I was a teenager. They would be too expensive for me to try and keep up with, but I live in the country with a big open field in front of my house and decided to get a durable RC car that should hold up fairly easily with me just running it around the front yard and not sending it on 10 foot jumps. So I've spent the last few days working it out, but from lurking in these forums reading about airplanes for years I knew it would be a good idea to lay out my plan here and find out what the experts had to say about it. I also have a question I can't easily find an answer too myself.
I am going to get the new Arrma Kraton 4S, with the battery 50C 2S batter packs and charger they sell with it (is there a cheaper/better option then this for the batteries and charger)?
I am going to get the Backflip tires from the Outcast with it, and save the ones that come with it for pavement. I already know these are compatible with the Kraton.
Then I also want to get the RPM front bumper to protect the front suspension, because that seems like a really good idea... but I only found a video of that being put on a Kraton 6S. How can I tell which parts, like a better front bumper, are compatible with a Kraton 4S? How do you find optional/custom parts that work with a specific car? From videos, it looks like the bumper that got put on a 6S has a different bolt pattern than what is on the bottom of a 4S... how do I find a wrap around bumper for a 4S Kraton?
Also, if anyone with experience sees things wrong in what I am doing here, or a better way... please let me know!
