I've been speculating on smaller-scale cars as a means of getting new blood interested (I'm still new myself, and hurting from the costs of 1/10th scale). It's no accident that many manufacturers are doing smaller 1/16th or 1/18th scale versions of their existing lines - Traxxas, Losi, AE...then there are the Maverick Atoms, FTX Blazes and innumerable clones to choose from.
It's a class you could term as 'Christmas present' territory - about £100 would get you everything needed to start, including the charger.
