What are some good tips with the r i have owned other 2 stroks but nothign i really wanted to race and keep up.

make a list of everything you want to get. i'd start with a frame/rolling chassis because it will be the most expensive (besides engine in some cases) then say yea i want these nerfs and this plastic and these handelbars and so on

grab a calucator on then run though a few issues of dirt wheels and add up all the parts you want and then if you are buying used stuff browors around on ebay on then add up all the cost and then find out how your going to pay it

good luck and i hope everything turns out!!
