Burgie has an x6 for sale in the for sale section that would be a good steady car to have they are very competative and parts are readily avaliable.

I run the new Losi speed control and I think it is a very good piece of kit and at £120 ish for speedo and motor you cant go wrong. Lipo is going to be the next big thing as well and the chargers are very cheep compaired to NIMH £40 the batteries are fairly cheep as well £40 and you only need one. Futaba have a cheep 2.4 ghz radio which i think looks good I think they are £170. Then there is the AE servos at £50. There are bargains out there.

i think im going to go on the 2wd route.

for the sheer fact its cheaper.

basically i only get paid £100 a week because im 16.

so i need to get the best bargians i can atm. then eventually i will upgrade

im obviously not going to be able to buy everything at once. but if i could get a 2wd car with tyres,shell and a few spares that would be good.

i dont wna spend to much, because obviously im going to be rusty with the fingers because i havent driven a rc for about a year and that was a touring car mostly

The Losi speedos/motors are a fantastic bit of kit, cheap and very nice to drive. I found it just as good, if not better than my LRP.
