Thanks guys, good advice. Yeah, we are popping along to a practice night on Friday. I think they are even going to let us have a go on track with the tamiya minis..
I live in Scotland, near Glasgow. local club is the Lothian model racing club in Broxburn.
Probably best to just wait and see what they are racing I guess. I would be happy for us to start off basic if there is say for example, a class with just basic cars (no ESC, brushed, Nimh etc) and then advance as skills improve, but not sure they are doing that. I have seen some of the cars on the website and they look 'all singing all dancing'.
Will let you know how it goes on Friday.
Cheers
Craig
