Just getting back into racing again

[swappyd]

This summer I'm thinking of getting back into 1/10 buggy racing again!
It has been a long time since I last raced.
To be honest the gold tub RC10 was king and I raced one and an Optima Pro!

A couple of questions

I've have a somewhat battered XXX-BK for mucking about with.
I'm in th process of getting it ready, new bearings, etc.
what else should I look at getting as spares and setting it up if I where to race again?

Also looking at which club? Living on the edge of Bedworth both Hinckley and Coventry are a doddle to get to!

I did drop into the Cov track on a none race day and to say I was not made to feel welcome with the 1/8 guys is off putting or was it not typical for the guys who race there?
