RC Controller

You will need a way to control it, so you need to get a controller.  There are tons of controllers, but we recommend at least a 6 channel.

One thing to remember about a controller is most will control many different vehicles so although expensive they will last you for years to come so get a good one.

Here is a quality one

Controllers have different modes for different countries, its best if you select the mode that is standard in your country.  In the USA most use Mode 2.

Other items...


Glue

We recommend using Goop E6000 Jewelry and Bead Adhesive as that's what we found works best. GOOP needs 72 hrs to fully dry giving you a chance to move bricks around if you made a mistake. You can use CA glue but it turns white and ugly if your not careful and dries so fast its very hard to use. You can get GOOP from Amazon or most local craft stores like Michaels.
