So if not a B5m what should be on my list, my first time racing as a kid I only raced Cougars, then when I came back in 2000 I bought this B5 from a guy for about £70 and it seemed a great car, no issues at all.

I have an 13 triple in it, running on nicads and its plenty fast enough in a straight line, but I guess the newer cars handle better.
Thing is technology has changed and brushless is the product now, bit more torque. There are loads available, Schumacher does a good car but with these guys they change the design every five minutes so i tend to avoid them due to that but will say they designed a stunning car for 2wd. Losi do a good car also but tight for electrics, sworkz have shipped their first batch so may hit our stores shortly and is a very good car design plus made tough like their 4wd. Id avoid Durango, cars crap, as youll never have just one setup and means youll never have a perfect setup and will drive you crazy. There are quite a few to choose but is really down to your taste, after all if it looks right then great start.
