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

thats a 16th, do as above, the more you spend the better stuff you will get

[welsh man]

what are the differences between a 10 th 12 and 16th sorry i just dont know much

[bigred5765]

scale size,

[welsh man]

u know the scale size does that mean of a normal car or something

[ryan_93]

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

[welsh man]

ok thanks very much

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!!)

[welsh man]

could any of you help in posting ome good quality websites

[GRIFF55]

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 stock good products and have live stock levels

[welsh man]

i was on about shops websites thanks
