Thanks Jimmy, I am glad I ain't the only one who is getting back into it, I don't feel quite so much of a squid...and its enormously helpful that are forums like this that we can all use to get help and advice.
So with that being said I have taken some of the above advice, and bought a secondhand Team Durango 410r with a few upgraded parts to replace my Losi xxx4.
I think I got a good deal on ebay, but will post some pics and details when it arrives.
I think I will still go and pickup a dex210 from MB Models this week and start out 2wd though, as I never really raced 4WD back in the day.. well that and I am actually quite looking forward to actually building something other than a motorbike...
Oh, and Jimmy mate, I am sure your eyes, brain and thumbs will be fine, and if not at least it will be good fun learning again. Have you *seen* how fast these cars are now though? I was watching some footage from York on Youtube yesterday and suddenly marshaling the things is just as much of a concern as driving them...
...still, it looks like a giggle
