You can go alot cheaper than £500 ive only been racing a few weeks and am now at the point i can say i have all the gear and be properly prepared for raceday.Ive gone down the cheaper buy it from hong kong route and it has payed off,well if you see me on sunday at bury without my ezrun esc it might have not!!!!!I would look also into maybe buying secondhand car from a racer like i've just done myself cheaper and most of the time well looked after,there always swapping and changing anyways, here's the breakdown so far for me.>>>>>>>>>>
Secondhand factory x6 £140
3xni cad's 3700 £14.00 each
orion charger nicad £20 secondhand
ezrun brushless system £60
2 5000 40c lipo's £85.00 from hong kong (on route as we speak)
rc core lipo charger £60.00
spektrum dx3 cheapest one.. £90.00 from bolton modelmart
some tools/table/12v battery/etc
Thats me ready to roll £400.00 apart from breakages of car shouldn't cost to much from now on then again my driving isnt great!!!!..but i love the hobby so i get the money from some where,just get what you are comfortable with go out and enjoy like i am
