Returning to RC after 5 year absence

[Chris Elworthy]

Hi Guys,

I've finally given in to the urge to get back into this great sport after a five year absence and plan to once again make Bury Metro my local club. I
Wish to seek the advice of the club members before I part with any of my hard earned.
I came along to watch some of the regional at the weekend and so much has changed, namely the new circuit but the array of new cars and electronics available is staggering. The days of a simple choice between Associated or Losi in 2wd seem over with so many conversions available.
I'm pretty much set on Orion 90c lipo's and a Core RC charger but not decided on brushless system and chassis yet. I have a XXXCR car at home that I will use for a few meetings before I get something more current.
I like the look of the Losi 22 and it appears to b well priced compared with the centro and others, what is the consensus of this car around Bury? I've heard the car is very tough but a little tricky to set up?
As for ESC's I've been recomended the Losi Xcelorin to get me started with the 6.5 motor but am unsure whether this would be too quick for 2wd, what other combo's should I consider? I want to keep cost as low as possible to begin with.

All advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
