YOU DONT NEED BRCA LEGAL CELLS FOR CLUB RACING!!! that is bollocks!! its down to the clubs discretion.
Wolfie knows me, he knows my main class is nitro off road of which im pretty good, and he knows my 12th scale.
Basically I bought a second hand S120 full setup for a steal. rebuilt it to kit standard setup, put some new tyres on it and drove it. The kit setup was very easy to drive, the brushed motor complimented the chassis very well wasnt too powerful but was as fast as the brushless on the straights, maybe it lacked a little out of the corners but top end it was fine. Now I dont want to blow my own trumpet but at my first ever 12th meeting i was 2nd overall with a second hand t-bar car!!! the only person I couldnt beat was Jim Spencer!
Now I know this isnt a debate but yet again a noob asking for advise is getting told to buy the latest and greatest and I heartily disagree. YOU DONT NEED the latest kit to be competitive, what ever happened to racing for fun??? You dont need to be challenging for the win to enjoy yourself, but if your car is hard to drive and you wont enjoy yourself, but if your car works well and YOU drive crap ill guarantee youll enjoy it!!!
To the OP if you want and we can arrange a date that doesnt clash with my nitro racing ill meet you at chesterfield and you can drive my 12th for the meeting and Ill spanner for you. Cos even with all the advice on here, you may not even like 12th scales and therefore you could be wasting a lot of money. Try before you buy if you will
