Starter Kit


Note: Starter kits are no longer available due to the lack of a sponsor to donate (or partially donate) the materials for them. New Sponsors Are Welcome.

Approved wheels are available for $60 (Note: they have gone up from $40 due to higher costs from the supplier).

The items below are what we have supplied in our starter kits in the past.
They are items that are commonly used for the mechanics of an average car. Other parts will be required.
The body of the car is up to you to design and create.

For fairness, the approved wheels and bearings from us are mandatory. For more information, please see the Builders Manual.
