Starting again....A few questions...

[Lockey]

Hello, been away from the sport for 17yrs now, racing 1/10th 4wd and 1/12th mini stocks with some success. Anyway i want to get back into racing again and have been trawling the forums/reviews for advise on cars, electrics, set-ups etc but ive got a few questions to ask and would like your input/advise please...

1. I know a general one but which buggy? ive narrowed it down to b44, d4we, MR-4bx, xxx-4 or wait for the cat sx?

2. Would you start off in li-po or not and what batt/charger recommendations?

3. Start off going brushless and which esc/motor combo (wouldn't mind reverse but with the ability to switch off for racing)?

4. Is my old 27mh radio gear old news now is it all 40mh?

5. What equipment gets taken to a club meeting now by competitors i.e batteries, charging equipment etc

I want to do this properly so i don't want to buy anything that would be replaced in the near future so on that basis in not too bothered on the cost im just really after a good race set-up that with practise would get me competing at a decent level. Im thinking of joining the Bury club as il be moving to Radcliffe/Bury area in the near future and its also my nearest club with maybe Southport.

Sorry if there's any dumb ass questions
Thanks in advance Stu
