More batteries have been ordered, but I'm also wondering......does it really matter what sort of car you are racing or is it primarily the driver input that gets you results?
I have my eye on a losi XXX on eBay for myself that looks like it comes with a load of tuning parts (tyres and springs mostly) is this type of car seriously off the pace or not suited to current types of tracks?

Older cars certainly will serve well until you get up to speed, and then progress your skills.
However the main concern i see often is when you break the car and dont carry that particular spare, no one will have this part in their box - normally if you ask, people will loan spares.
In this case it would be game over.
Ideally if i were you i would wish to run a car others at my local club would run, advice, help and support is always there and you wont be left wondering what to do.
