That's why I said Ansmann as they're cheap and it will get you going.
Why MUST it be 4WD ? Have you tried 2WD ? It's a more popular class as it's a bit cheaper to run throughout the year.
If you're on a budget this isn't bad kit to get you started, could be cheaper but if you go too cheap you'll end up with rubbish !
ORCA ESC & Motor Combo is about £130
Steering Servo - Savox SC-0254 Metal Geared £27
Spektrum DX3C Wheel Radio ( includes RX ) £75
Core RC UAC50 (12/240V) £50
Lipo Saddle Pack £75
That's just to give you an idea of price, I don't use ebay or buy from Hong Kong and I'm sure plenty of people can advise you on that and how much cheaper it is, just to give you an idea though that's just shy of £360, which leaves you £140 for a car.
4WD you won't get much for that...
In the Ansmann range the X4 Pro is £170 or you could go a bit cheaper with the Blizzard which is only £107.
Yokomo's B-Max4 is £184
Otherwise if you want Schumacher, Kyosho or Associated you're looking at around £300.
If you can get a Durango the 410R is super cheap for what it is but that's still £191.
So you could look on here for a used car or maybe used radio / charger or anything else you feel comfortable buying used.
OR you could try 2WD, the basic Schumacher Cougar is £134, it's not the carbon fibre one but it's a quality kit, good back up and spares and within your budget. Alternatively I think all the Ansmann 2WD's are within your budget.
Aside all this though I really would get down to your local track, see what is used most locally, speak to the drivers and ask questions, they'll tell you what's good and what isn't. If you buy something we suggest on here and go to your local track to race it and are the only one there racing that particular car if you break it chances you're day's racing ends, if you get something that a few others have you might be able to borrow a spare ?
