the electronics components are completely different than the old days, the motors are basically maintenance free since there's no brush, batteries are easy to condition and the capacity are between 5500mah to 7000mah.

The radio, no more crystal, using spectrum 2.4ghz thus no interference at all...

to start off, you looking at about 1.5k to 2k with race ready equipment, and it will last you for a good while...

Yep, I priced some of it out today.

I may just go to the track and drive my buddies around and see if it's something I really want to start up again.

Plus, I was die-hard Losi, and now everyone I knew that was also Losi is Associated, and that seems to be the direction I'm headed if I get back into it.

Good thing I still kind of know some factory drivers

May have to contact them and see if I can get some "deals".

I almost wish I still had any of my old stuff. All that survived was my soldering iron (useful for other tasks) and lexan scissors.

The Associated TC6.1 is actually a very good chassis, however, my favorite chassis on the market nowadays is the Xray T4, this kit worth every penny...

Motor and ESC, you might want to look at the brand ORCA, it is the best brand on the market especially for ESC and battery, motor from this brand is very very popular too
