Ive just started back since a break of around 16 years as the last pack of cells i put in my Tomy intruder back then was 17oo scrs.
I popped down to our local club and introduced myself , asked what the guys were using and went from there.
I purchased second hand off here actually from racing dwarf a yokomo mr4bx and im slowly building up some pretty decent gear.
The difference now is there a great array of second hand gear available now due to every one being on the internet .17 years ago you either had to save , make do with what your local hobby stockist had or wait for a members best equipment to go off and buy that off him.
Who said the futures looking bleak !
