Thanks for the reply,

Are any off road buggies running at Lochgelly on Sundays?

Would a basic stock kit be competitive, such as the 2wd Thunder Tiger Phoenix BX, or are most people starting at brushless with say the Phoenix XB? The XB seems a good price for a brushless model at around £175

Similarly in 4wd with most manufacturers there seems to be a base model, and a better equipped second version. I think your saying it would be best to enter at the better spec brushless versions.

I mention that brand as it seems reasonable and my local model shop stocks the spares. Other brands seems better built, but I'd have to order spares online at perhaps a higher cost. Cheapest running costs would be most attractive!

Any difference between buggies and trucks? Most manufacturers seem to make almost identical models with a different bodyshell being the only difference along with skinnier front tyres and seperate wing on the buggy or fatter front tyres and body mounted wing on the truck. Is the ride height also different?

Do there cars run together in races? Are there any competitive differences?

Sorry for all the questions!
