Having returned to the sport after a 15 year abscence i have been through Losi 8ights, hobaos, losi 22, dex210, dex410, x4te and finally a db1. All in thr space of 2 1/2 years. One thing i have learned is do your research. Find a good local club for advice and to know what class is popular locally. Find a good model shop - not necessarily your nearest as i have had some crap advice in the past. Cheapest is not always best - more often than not i have spent double because it is either poor or i have outgrown it.
A great hobby which takes over your life.

Good points...
I re-started around 7 years ago with a B3 for £26 off eBay, got it running with old bits in my garage and second hand stuff - total around £125.
7 years later I have 9 fully running cars, 2 helicopters, a generator, 5 transmitters and a wallet lighter by around £5000.
Personally I advise knowing exactly what you want, and sticking with it. Hopefully you'll have more willpower than me. RC IS an addiction!
