Most people started with using motor breaking however if now a move towards mechanical breaks - main reasons seem to be:

- Smoother
- Front / Rear bias
- Less load on ESC hence runs cooler
- Saves battery

The whole buggy/truggy choice will cause lots of debate - most of the higher end ones seem to be great platforms CRT Pro, MBX5T Pro or 8T or their buggy counterparts. I'm not sure you can go wrong with any of those.

Electronics is honestly a money question - how much do you want to spend. The ferrari option is an MGM160 / Nue or Lehner the pontiac is a MM & Feigao.

Lipo / Lion is the way to go on the battery front - but there is again a debate on HV which is the trend. This offers lower amps and cooler setups but elecs are generally more expensive.

Thats my 2c summary
