Newbie - want to get a RC need help/guidance

[Welshbeef]

Hi everyone

Many may years ago I used to race a Tamyia Monster truck which in those days I built from scratch. Used it for years until the NiCads had no life and then drifted away from the sceane.

Anyway nearly 20 years on I want back in thing is I'm very very naive to whate going on I'm aware brushless motors are now way faster than petrols with no hassle and are the way to go. Also Lipo is the power source if you want crazy fast but Nicads are still in use?


Anyway will not be racing anyone just fun in our garden which is 300 ft so lots of room. I want off road.
From a glance I like the look of Durango and serpent also Losi looks good.

I don't want to spend a lot size wise I'd say 1/10th scale is probably fine for my use. I'd happily buy used too infact open to offers.

I glanced on eBay and found looks cheap but is it reliable any good?
