Neither do I, I'm only 23. I prefer the chunk because it looks so much more robust and like an actual RC car, the Mini T just looks like a cheap toy being used for racing, rather than a car that's been designed from the ground up to be raced.

and to me thats well worth it just to be able to mix it with 4wd's and to have a micro car that is tough with a capital T

As you well know Si, apart from the B4 FT I bought everything brand new. If you look in the right places or have a decent amount of stuff from other cars and projects you've worked on then it would be easy to get it built for £200. You've gotta take into account £85 of that £300 was for a B4 FT, if you could find an old used B4 then I reckon you could pick it up for around £30-40, you don't have to spend oodles like I did.
