New Member, where to start?

[Vantiz]

Hello, ive been looking at getting a 1/10 buggy now for a while but im not sure where to start, i have contacted 2 local clubs but had no reply yet.

Do i start by jumping in and paying loads on a buggy and hoping i stay interested if i can find somewhere to race, or do i get something like the FTX edge brushless/brushed for a while and see how i get on and upgrade later?

Thanks

The best way to start is physically visit your local clubs and see what they are racing then move on from there, you will often find that you may be able to buy good used equipment to get you going.

Where are you based?

Good luck and have fun

They have a round of their summer series on this Sunday, so best advice is pop along and chat to a few people.

Loads of good used bargains to be had used as well. I've basically started again, bought mostly quality used gear and up and running for around £400 for a competitive 2wd

I will pop down then hmm thats a bit out of my price range at the moment haha, more like 150 but ive looked and i cant even get a second hand kit for that

If your budget is that low, then you're at the bottom end of the market. But, shop carefully, you can pick up some bargains. I got my fully spec'd Team C TM2 v2 for £100 on here a few months ago. Might also depend on how patient you are.

Just a question, are you hoping to get everything for £150 or just a rolling chassis?
I do have 2 schumacher Kf2 rollers in the For Sale section, They are £140 each
