All prices from a very quick search on MB Models...if you don't mind going with hobbyking etc you could get even cheaper...and of course could get more second hand stuff?

New 2 midrange lipos £70 (for both)
New Core RC charger £62
New savox 1257 servo £44
Second hand Sanwa Gemini X (2.4ghz) with 451 receiver £100
New Speed passion Revention R with programme card and 7.5 motor £107
New Team associated B6 £270

Plus tyres and tools probably £700. Nearly a grand I know but a full on race setup...and with the RTR you'd need tools, tyres, charger, Lipos etc anyway.

Get searching on here and eBay for bargains, when I returned a couple of years back I bought everything second hand, loving it again and have spent a fair bit now, but I enjoy it so why not?

If you buy a car second hand just rebuild it, I did that with my current 4WD, refreshed all the worn parts and had almost as much fun as i do building a new one.

Worst case scenario you hate it, (unlikely), flog it all on here and get 2/3rds of your money back. Keep boxes/instruction etc for best price.

Go for it! : )
