The next choice would be an FTX Blaze which is about £140 ready to run but can be bought for around £70 as car only with motor but no radio gear.
As for 1/10th i run an old associated tc3 which is very competitive but the brushless motor and radio gear cost me over £500. A good starting 1/10th car[and there are quite a few of these at the club] is a Maverick Strada TC. These models come ready to run for around £105 and can be fairly competitive out of the box with a tyre change only. Its a good starter car which can easily be upgraded as your finances and driving improve.
Our winter championship starts on Friday 22nd January ,so come along and have a look.
The above cars can be bought from Future World Models in Oakley which is run by our treasurer Russell.
Hope this info helps with your choice of car. Cheers Andy [senior commitee member]
