Yep, you could get a solar speeder, but I think they are a little boring. I'd
suggest a photopopper kit as they are easy and a lot of fun. You should also
consider the Cybug from Craig Maynard. It's a BEAM hybrid and very
interesting. As to what the parts do, go over to Chiu's site and check out
his links and stuff page. He has a lot of the tech sheets on parts there.
Also check this site for basic stuff.

Good luck and happy building.
