My boy is 12 and although he has a good handle on the Hyper Mini ST, he doesn't know racing and control on a small track, chucking him straight in with a brushless lipo setup is not only expensive but a bad way to learn and potentially destructive. I was looking at tarmac racing (not really where my heart is) and both clubs I looked at offer a stock class as an introduction series and I was hoping for similar here. Ah well, there just isn't the budget to buy a car, brushless motor/esc setup and lipo's and charging rig. I can run to a car and a couple of additional batteries (I already have a NiMH peak AC/DC peak charger) as I already have some brushed ESC's spare and a choice of LRP brushed motors, there seems little point in pursuing it if he is already at the back because of budget.
Back to the drawing board then, look like it may be back to tarmac touring cars at Aldershot.

Hi again Carl
I think you need to re read my original post I stated that brushed motors esc and nimhs are perfectly useable and that the newer brushless lipo is just hassle free never said anything about not being able to compete with older equipment.
Also as for the car side of things you asked if anyone knew anything about them sorry for telling you what you didn't want to hear. You asked for advice I was merely trying to guide you.
And as dudders has said stock touring car racing isn't cheap I left touring cars because it got so expensive
