B4 RTR - how competitive at club level?

[VintageRacer]

I am looking for an inexpensive way to do some club racing and so I've been considering the B4 RTR.

How competitive is it out of the box? I'm not talking nationals here, nor regionals for a good while either. I've got a decent charger, but nothing else (everything I have is too old to be useful), so apart from cells, a RTR would have everything else I need at a low starting price.

My driving is rusty having not raced for years so my driving would be the limiting factor initially, but I'm sure I would get back into it soon. How long before I started getting frustrated with the car/electronics do you think?
