Buying the right stuff you could get all new cheapish reasonable stuff for around
£350. All new highend stuff could cost anywhere upto £1000 (easily...)

On top you've got spares, tools, polybutler/hauler, etc

no worries with tools and all that....
still got my old boxes tool kit think the old pit table is stil in the garage somewhere (talk about hoarding) :thumbsup:
the reason i wanna come back to racing is the new electronics.... ive been to a couple of clubs now and the lipo/brushless/programmable speedos/2.4 no crystals radio gear has blown me away... i think RC could be getting a resurgence!!!
so it pretty much costs the same as it did 15 years ago.... difference is i earn a bit more than when i was 15 and the kit is soooo much nicer....
you could spend over a grand on a quick set up 20 years ago... and 350 would make you competitive.....

as for the car.... oh yep... i would love one of those losi's :drool:... i think there another thing thing that will change the sport.. they look amazing.. i bet they win some big events this year. just worried about getting one of those and looking like an idiot at the back of the grid with my shakey driving...:D
