Default Just starting out.

Hi,im looking to buy a hpi firestorm 10t flux with brushless motor,and fit it with a 3c lipo pack.I have no experience with racing on tracks whatsoever but am keen to get into the hobby,i plan on visiting the track near Eastwood and joining the club as soon as possible,the facilities look great and well worth the trip from my home in derby.Just wondered if my choice of car is ok,and if i could come for practice for a while as i wont be good enough to race,ive never actually taken a car round a track,i would be gratefull for any advice please,thanks,Adrian.(captain slow)

Dont buy anything till you have been to your local club and talked to a few people mate.
3 cell lipo aint for racing!
You will find a whole bunch of people with helpful advice on suitable equipment for racing.
