Default Hi

Welcome to rc!

I recommended a master smacker for a work colleagues son.

It's a cheap basic 4wd off road setup. You can buy it as a kit to assemble or ready to run.

The good thing about ansmann is that they have a good backup service and parts are plenty which is important in this hobby/ sport.

I think your potential choice is good for a starter. If you have a club nearby see what they run!

If you need more advice you can pm me.

Good luck!

Regards

Good starting point is a B4. 2wd but plenty of people have them parts are easy to get. Getting a B4 would give you a competative race ready car. You can usually pick one up in the sales section .
If you decide to join a club and race then you would have plenty of people to give you advise on set up etc
