would it be best to buy second hand? Or new?
Two and four wheel
I'll be tough getting racing with £200, for that money I'd look at the Team Associated B4, very reliable car (if maintained like any car). Electrics I'd always recommend Speed Passion ESC & motor. Core RC balance charger.

It'll be 2nd hand and for reducing costs I'd go with 2WD. Plenty of good stuff on the for sale section here on Oople. If you are really really on a tight budget maybe a brushed set-up. Certainly more maintenance, but cheaper etc. SteveB looks after a number of members brushed motors for a fee.

I know also a number of racers are racing the Annsman Madrat, but I can't comment really about the car having never owned or raced one. My vote would be Associated B4.
