It would be good to have more racers at EPR. There is a lot of advice on here that's very helpful. Ok, another thing to decide is how serious you want to take it, and how much do you want to spend, I don't mean money is no object. If you just wana have a play, then pick up something second hand, a B-4 is a great place to start. If you wana take it more serious, then a X-6 or Cougar would be your best bet in my opinion, but all three cars are competitive and would be well supported at EPR. The most important bit is come on down and race. If you wanted to borrow a car and see what you think about it I am sure there are plenty of us that could loan you something for the day.

Car wise for a club racer the B4 is a good bet, ive seen schumacher cougars diffs fail regularly so would advise staying clear of them. If you want to spend more then the new Losi looks superb.

Don't over look a Kyosho RB5 ... almost built proof and near maintanance free.
It has plenty of steering without ever feeling "edgy" and has more rear end grip than you will know what to do with. A great car for the beginner in off-road and as fast as anything else out there.

I would recommend the following:
Associated B4/B4.1 Losi 22 (Twenty Two) X Factory X6 Squared (Probably 2nd Hand) Kyosho RB5 These are all good 2wd cars to start out with! Hope this helps Mark

your best bet is to keep a look out on the eden park thread and see when the next work party is and take a trip down. the guys doing work on the track are well experienced in off road and have a wealth of knowledge plus run their cars round after the work is done. as said before a b4 is a very good starting car but if you want to spend a litlle more a cougar or x6. all three chassis are well supported at eden park wouldnt bother with a kyosho 2wd no one runs them.

decisions, decisions
I want to know if it's better to get a mid motor mounted car or a rear motor mounted car - I intend to do race local to me - Stotfold, Eden Park - which I believe are both astroturf

That's all down to your driving style imo.
If you like the back end to swing round into the corners (almost handbrake stylee) then a rear motor is perfect (although they can be smooth too), but a mid-motor is alot harder to do this with - they prefer it much smoother. Coming from touring cars you might be better suited to a mid more than rear...?

Say no more? how much? i suggest you get your hands on a new or 2nd hand B4/4.1, see how ya get on, i know some who have tried it and not enjoyed it so as good as the X6 might suit the wizard
 they proper expensive if you want to go new, B4 all the way! or maybe a Short Coarse??  What ever you choose hope you enjoy it! i'll never buy another touring car!!
