Any suggestions. Starting club at school

[tomfairweather]

Hi guys,
Any help would be gratefully recieved. I am a teacher in an international school in Malaysia and I am starting and after school club racing. I used to race back in the UK before coming here.
I have a budget of about 130 quid per child and will be looking at getting 15 or so cars. The students have expressed an interest in getting indoor/outdoor cars that we can take on the astro when it's not raining.
For that money I was thinking AE rc18t2 or b2 but the issue is with getting parts. There is a Kyosho dealer in town so mini infernos might be a better choice, although i have no idea what they are like. I never saw any at the clubs i went to.
To better spell it out, I want it
- RTR
- 1/18th (more car for the money than 1/10th?)
- Very robust (11 to 15yr olds using them and parts could be an issue)
- electric
- 2.4 Tx and Rx prefered
- under 130 quid
The cars I have looked at are LRP shark, Vendetta, AE including the short course. Kyosho and x-ray. Even exceed (blundered upon them).
Also I don't want to write off 1/10th as getting 1/18th electrics here will be hard. I like the fact that Mini Inferno takes full size servo.
thanks essays in by Monday! ..........
