your going to stuggle to get that spec for that money, add at least another 150 for a good fast car, even then you may need to go second hand

correct me if i am wrong but i think 1/1 scale is a real size car so i think 1/10 is a tenth of the size of a real car

If you want to race then Cobra (your friendly local club in Cardiff) run 10th scale touring cars indoors in the winter and 10th scale off road all year round - 2wd and 4wd - Believe that they also run 18th scale too, but probably off road only.

And a little further afield I've got to plug Caldicot!!
www.caldicotrcracers.co.uk - 10th & 18th scale 2wd, 4wd and truck (if it's an electric offroader then you can run it!!)

this one!! Do you mean shops, clubs or what sites?
As has been said, from where you are your best bet would be to go along to a cobra meeting (llanishen school indoors in winter) have a chat and see if anybody has stuff for sale. All a good bunch, so just go and have some fun. www.m-k-racing.com (http://www.m-k-racing.com) stock good products and have live stock levels
