Antweight Starter components

Hi Everyone,
I have recently discovered a interest in battle robots after watching a few videos on YouTube and remembering Robot Wars on tv. I would love to build my own ant weight as a starter project. I currently own a 3D printer (and modeling experience, 3d of course!) so I know I can build the frame without much effort. What are some of the basic components I can use to build a battle bot?

Also I don't have a very big budget for my first time if there are any ways to reduce costs that would be great!

Never mind just seen the sticky
*Facepalm*

I highly recommend Rory's kits:
http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/thre...antweight-kits

They are by far the easiest way to build an antweight and are really lightweight and compact so make it much easier to get the antwieght in weight/ in the size limit.

This forum is more directed towards antweights and you'll find more help/information there:

I second Maxs recommendation of one of Rorys kits. Easily superior to any other alternative for a good price.

What radio controller, batteries and charger would you suggest using with Rorys kits?

If you look on the spec sheet rory links with his kits you can see recommended components.
