Slightly different twist though.
Someone has contacted our club to ask what 4wd buggy they should get to start racing with for himself and his son. He has a budget of £300 each and currently has no kit at all. We're at a bit of a loss as to what to suggest. Can anyone suggest anything within that budget that would actually be suitable for someone to start racing, have a decent spares availability, etc? |

If they want to buy brand new my boy started with an FTX vantage which was good enough to get going. Spares are cheap and for the budget they could get a suitable fast charger and a couple of lipo batteries. That's the only thing I can think of for the budget.

Sounds like mission impossible. I would suggest buy second hand or look at 2wd, maybe the b4 rtr or kyosho rb6 rtr if has to be new.

Thanks, have suggested looking at the FTX as a starter car or to look for 2nd hand before taking the plunge

I have a ftx vantage available (brushed version) if interested
We decided to go 2wd when we started racing |

Reading the specs on the ftx, it runs Lipos, has brushless motor, cheap spares. With the correct tyres it could go ok for a newbie.

Have to say I would be looking 2nd hand and 2wd. Will be cheaper and improve your driving if your dead keen on tenth scale.
Otherwise how about Micro?
