Fellahs, you are both right in your own way but to a little lad, the mad monkey is like a ferrari and a good introduction to racing. If he likes it he can move up the ranks. I was going to run the 25 year old RC10 and thought it would just be easier with a new basic car. We will get a 2nd car for spares and use the wheels/tyres from it etc.
When I got my 3 cars from the attic (Rc10, cougar, optima mid turbo), I discovered that they all needed a little work/parts to get them going and this route was simpler/cheaper.
Racing needs a basic class in my view in order to keep costs down and get people in. Maybe if we get 6+ mad rats/monkeys going, there will be a trade in parts. A bit of variety is good for everyone.
thanks
Ian
