hi all, i sold all my rc car stuff in order to help fund my motorbike.

now ive got one and ive got a job, i wouldnt mind starting up agian.

can you give me some help... on cars,electys, etc

what i need to start racing agian basically

could some one give me some names and figures.

i will buy second hand but only if i cant stretch to brand knew.

anyone got any decent setups of gear they could recommend? (possibly not rtr and not to pricey :D if thats possible with rc lol.#

not most basic stuff buh obviously not going to be able to get the best...

i just want some kind of setup that is guna get me started until ive got money to slowly start upgrading to better stuff.

let me know asap.

Burgie has an x6 for sale in the for sale section that would be a good steady car to have they are very competative and parts are readily avaliable.

I run the new Losi speed control and I think it is a very good piece of kit and at £120 ish for speedo and motor you cant go wrong. Lipo is going to be the next big thing as well and the chargers are very cheep compaired to NIMH £40 the batteries are fairly cheep as well £40 and you only need one. Futaba have a cheep 2.4 ghz radio which i think looks good I think they are £170. Then there is the AE servos at £50. There are bargains out there.

i think im going to go on the 2wd route.

for the sheer fact its cheaper.

basically i only get paid £100 a week because im 16.

so i need to get the best bargians i can atm. then eventually i will upgrade:woot:

im obviously not going to be able to buy everything at once. but if i could get a 2wd car with tyres,shell and a few spares that would be good.

i dont wna spend to much, because obviously im going to be rusty with the fingers because i havent driven a rc for about a year and that was a touring car mostly :o

The Losi speedos/motors are a fantastic bit of kit, cheap and very nice to drive. I found it just as good, if not better than my LRP.
