Do check the Stotfold web site before going, the drought may be causing problems and any cancelled meeting will be listed.

RTR is a good option, who knows you may find you need 2 and 4 wheel drive , but RTR will need better electrics sooner rather than later, they tend to be lower power options, good to get started with, but to go faster you will need to change the motor and this will mean changing the speed control, then you may find the RTR transmitter needs more options....... on it goes....

see what people are running, ask lots of questions if the drivers don't look to busy, easier these days between rounds - lots of time to chat, ask different drivers the same questions, you will get different answers. enjoy
