I would go.mid motor as thats more suitable for all year round as a newbie

Assicated B5m are cheap and importantly solid.

The pr racing range are very good cars

If you there sunday then wander round. Make yourself known.

I have the PR range. All 3 lol.

Happy to chat about lower price range parts etc.

Just not if im rebuilding diffs etc lol

ok

i will come have a walk around, see if i can bring the old bloke i work with that used to race

i did look at the Team Associated RC10B5 team Kit 1:10 AE90001 its only about 150 ish and seems quite good to me. are you tony cooper?

tonydevon · #23 19-05-2017

just saw the invite to sunday in wellington, theres only a few people and only one tony lol

tonydevon · #25 19-05-2017

Haha. Yeah get along. Ask questions

Im running 2wd and 4wd.

Silver focus usually parked by the entrance to the actual track.

Short course is probanbly cheapest entry route.

Bit bash and crash for my liking

Depends on yiur ability and what yiu want to get from your racing

i just wanna have a mess around for a while until i get used to driving, i have had 2 nitro cars over the last 15 years tho, really fast ones but never on a track, i see some people say buy the best you can afford but then read somewhere else that it could put me off having something too fast at the start, there will be a couple of us coming sunday

tonydevon · #27 20-05-2017

I think short course might scratch that itch.

Check out rc octane page on fb.

4wd buggies deffo wirth look. If you new then they far easier in all weathers. 2wd on sandy slippy astro and grass isnt the easiest

Hi Mate
As per your previous post regarding the RC10B5m this is an outdated model but is still a great buggy, also you can simply switch the running gear onto the RC10SC5m chassis, wishbones & driveshafts and you have a Shortcourse, best of both

Cheers, there's quite a lot of info on rc cars, new people can easy buy the wrong things, its hard to know which is new or old, which ones are good or over priced Chinese stuff, whats the best web site to look on?

Also did you sell the 2 kf2 that you have?
