Your better off just going to your local hobby store and spending the money on a kit. You will get a MUCH MUCH better car for your money.
The kits come with good instructions so building it without the 'magazine' should not be a problem.
Also don't think the mag includes transmitter so thats another cost to add in.

Also it will really start to piss you off after 40odd weeks when you nearly have car but have to keep waiting another 3 months before finishing. I am 99% sure most people would even rather spend another £10er and just finish it.
