Were all converting to 1/10th this year and a friend of ours who races with us also wants to get a 10th but has "extremely" limited funds.

Ideally from one of the major manufacturers. It can be an older model but needs to be something that spares are still available for. Due to his driving style I would say needs to be as rugged as possible.

thought I should also note he has Radio gear so just speedo, motor and servo required in the car.

Cheers
