Default Do I come back into racing?

Basically, after a 6 month break, I want to come playing again

But, after all the top spec gear I had, I only have my power supply, and 2 chargers left, also a hudy set-up station.

I want to get back into off roading, but Im unsure weather to wate for a year or not?

Help me out lads, an lasses

Why would you want to wait for a year?
Are you thinking there might be some advantage to that?

It's a good job you didn't ask this question on A one rc forum to avoid a biased response hehe!! It's a little like asking someone who is starving if they would like some food.

If you want to race again then get yourself involved. I took a few years out, 9 to be exact, and have made a comeback and have really enjoyed it ever since

You'd need to ask yourself... Why did you stop in the first place? And has the situation changed? But what ever the reason, it'd be cool for you to try and compete with your 79 Rough Rider.
I've had to knock it on the head previously to get priorities right, but I always knew I enjoyed it and would return as and when I was able.

My names Daz, and i'm a racerholic, i've been back on the racing for 10 years now..
