cant go far wrong with a ta05 for 10.5t power

saying that, i second the xray if you got the money

The ta05ifs-R is fantastic value for money. Its quick out of the box and is also almost indestructable. It also has the pulleys / suspension system from the TRF416.

TA05's are excellent club level cars, easy to tune and they have no trouble handling 10.5's. Since running mine others have also got them and noone has any problem with them.

The Xray is a good car.

The Kyosho doesnt seem to cut it, also the Schumacher seems quite unstable (the 3.5) allthough its quite new so it might not be fully dialed into the track yet.

Would be my option at that budget.

If your budget is £200 then you should also be able to get a TOP Scythe 2007 - this is what I am running at Jarrow so you are welcome to take a look at it next time you are up.

TA05 is definitely a good car, probably easier to drive than the Scythe, but when the grip is up not quite as fast through the corners, depends a little on your skills!
