and i say learn because i dont want to be competetive when i cant get the thing round the track i want to learn how to be competetive

or am i just waffling like stampy ? and the point im missing is that to get anywhere i need the modern gadgets ?
Nope, not the case. I turned up at the Eden Park event just before the nats and made the A with an old Futaba servo, old cells and a second hand motor and esc. Its not the tech that gets the results but sometimes does help but in most cases its just luck of the draw, good setup and determination, not the equipment.

Setups are posted for most makes of cars so best bet would be to try the four best drivers set ups ad see which one suits your style of driving, yes a little tweak here and there should move you leaps and bounds.
