i got back to it last year all after 22 yrs away.
got an SV and loved it, but seemed to break alot(prob my diving thou lol)
tried an X2c, nice car. then a B4.1,
settled on the losi 22...... hard as nails and handles great, mid motor for 90% of UK tracks....
was using a 7.5t motor and very quick in a 2wd, do not need lower/faster.
BUT
I have just started using a 10.5t GM motor and playing with turbo/timing etc, sooooo much smoother on the infield and loads of power on the staits. If your ex TC, you may want to go that route and play with the settings.... much more control..... I am converted now...
ESC, loads of choice, I am loving the orion R10 Pro, not cheap but awsome.
Have a hobbywing in my sx3 and thats a great speedo.... but loads of choice.....
the losi is a little tight on space so think about that when choosing electrics..... i use a full size 1258 servo and the R10 esc, micro spectrum x and all fits OK, well, tight, but fits........
just my 2 pennies worth............... welcome back............
