What tools do I need to construct it?

Hi there, not many tools required. The kit comes with a box spanner for all the nuts, the only tools you need are various sizes of Phillip's screwdrivers and if I remember correctly, some fine nose pliers. You can get all the tools you need very cheaply but it's always worth spending a little extra for decent quality. Enjoy the build, it will be the start of an addiction.

What comes in the buggy kit? What extras do we need to buy? C

Hi C you'll need to but a speed controller, batteries and the radio controller including servo's. Also bear in mind you may have to pay import tax if you buy it from Japan like I did. C

Is this a complete package all I need to do is assemble and drive?

You need to assemble the kit yourself. You will need to buy the radio gear (transmitter, receiver and 2 servos) come as a package and electronic speed controller, battery and battery recharged.
