new kit price??
 

hey guys... been out of the loop a while (ie 15 years or so)

how much do you reckon i can get full new kit for 1/10 off road 2wd??

so thats 2ghz tx, decent speedo, brushless motor, set of LiPo's, Charger, fastish servo???

i know ill smash the car to tiny pieces if i get a super fast motor but all the other stuff i would wanna get decentish as the cheap things used to drive me up the wall....
any thing you recommend? any major compatibility issues i might have???
rough ball park ish figure for price??? just so i know what im aiming for...

whats the good stuff? whats the stuff to avoid???

thanks for any input....

ste

oh the trans has gotta be sticks... i canny drive those wheely things... :thumbsup:

might be worth a trip around a few local clubs theres always some really good second hand cars around, hell i have two for sale

heh what you got...? :D

i went to leyland week just gone....

Ge the losi 22 :) £195 brand new, it is due in march some time...

Buying the right stuff you could get all new cheapish reasonable stuff for around
£350. All new highend stuff could cost anywhere upto £1000 (easily...)

On top you've got spares, tools, polybutler/hauler, etc

no worries with tools and all that....
still got my old boxes tool kit think the old pit table is stil in the garage somewhere (talk about hoarding) :thumbsup:
the reason i wanna come back to racing is the new electronics.... ive been to a couple of clubs now and the lipo/brushless/programmable speedos/2.4 no crystals radio gear has blown me away... i think RC could be getting a resurgence!!!
so it pretty much costs the same as it did 15 years ago.... difference is i earn a bit more than when i was 15 and the kit is soooo much nicer....
you could spend over a grand on a quick set up 20 years ago... and 350 would make you competitive.....

as for the car.... oh yep... i would love one of those losi's :drool:... i think there another thing thing that will change the sport.. they look amazing.. i bet they win some big events this year. just worried about getting one of those and looking like an idiot at the back of the grid with my shakey driving...:D
