Re: NEW TEAM- NEED ADVICE
Building a moving drive train would be an excellent way to get practice. Half the battle will be getting electronics to talk to each other.

This presentation is awesome:

I would get this kit and a few extra jaguarss, CIMs, and enough chain and sprockets to make it full 6WD with 4 cim motors (2 each side):

I would also buy some different sprockets to change the top speed of that chassis to 7ft/s and 14ft/s in addition to its current gearing of 10.4ft/s. I would also buy some plaction wheels and 2-4 omni wheels to experiment with. All of this is available from Andymark.com
