Hi Dan,

We have a club in Devon/Somerset, Tiverton Radio Controlled Car Club, and we race 1/10th Off Road in Wellington.

We race 2wd as that is what everyone races, mainly B4's. I would advise getting a second hand B4 if you are going to race down here as it is the most common buggy used, therefore having the best trackside support.

We also have a touring car track where there is quite often a heat of touring cars.

This is our website with the information, feel free to contact if you would like futher info. www.TRCCC.co.uk

Hey Dan,

We have a club in Weston-super-mare that race Micros We're just off actually in banwell, if you check out our section on www.uk-microrc.co.uk under 'WORM' then feel free to come down and have a look

As for cars we race Micros, the newest car out is the Carisma GT14B which is competitive at the nationals out of the box. For £180 you get the complete car, brushless system, 2.4ghz radio, the lot! Take a look on www.uk-microrc.co.uk and see what you think, come and take a look one night, we race Tuesday evenings every fortnight

I would go along with what Dan Osborne said. Worm is very close in Hutton and for £180(i presume it can still be had for £180) you can have a GT14B which is superbly made competitive car complete with 2.4 gig radio gear and a good brushless system. Which is a bit of a bargain really.

It's big enough to bash with if you want as long as you stick to BMX tracks car parks and freshly cut grass.
