Good fun but you'll be bored in a few hours unless you get your self along to a club that has a track, I got mega carried away lol
Nitro for fun & sound, my one above has the 2 speed box, Had it fully prepared for 1:10 touring class, clocked just over 85mph on the straights but does need constant care to keep it runing its best... then the used to race the electric class, Just as much fun but without the constant care, The electric was just as fast on track as the nitro, electric ones have really come on with time

You can probably find some advice here.
I setteled on an electric one. And bought it from a shop in Hong Kong called
Stellamodels.net they were very cheap.
I bought this:
I have a skatepark just across the street, and think that the buggy will be great fun there.

nitro is great for about an hour then they just end up causing problems. electric is much more fun imo charge it run it throw it back in the garage then charge it 3 years later and use it again no f**king about with trying to start it again
Clio MK 4
I was really into remote control cars when i was 16 odd. Had an electric one and coulndt help but buy better parts all the time lol. Going to clubs racing others is good fun

Great buggy, easy to set up and very solid - even got ABS! Need to read about that though!

bin thinking about a r/c car to really fancy building it from a kit tho but u dont see many
Qashcow
yea everywhere does RTR nowadays and its poop. half the fun is building it in the first place. i sold all my kit a few years ago and wish i hadnt, just for a boring sunday afternoon's fun.
ive had both, nitro was annoying, messy and constantly went wrong and needed money spending on it, battery lasted less time per run but overcome with 4 batteries etc. battery next time.
ive had Schumacher, Losi and HPI over the years, Losi was just outstanding

try rc demon site mate. You'll find 1/5 petrol cars as a kit to build
I have 2 nitro powered marsh skimmers, MEGA fun!
e91 330d/type r mini
fg are amazing and take a right beating and they run on normal fuel, also you dont have to spend every 5 minutes tuning them like the nitros cars, you just fill up and away you go for 45 mins
here was mine

My old skool 1:8th scale Kyosho F1 Nitro... miss that car

Cracking kit, dropped the Picco 21 race engine in mine, had to loose the cooling fan but it was quick
.... Shame i didnt buy a £20 fail safe as it may have still been with me today.. when they go smash... they go bad

But they are a pain in the bum for breaking just as you've started having fun.

RB 182
Jesus! How did you control that? The car could 4 wheel powerslide around corners with just that little engine in!! Agree about them getting damaged, my throttle arm snapped on full chat but a flower bed saved the day lol. Vintage cars needing spare parts FTL!!

33k. Lmao
I chose mine, cause i wanted to build it myself. IMO a great part of the fun, and you will get to know your car alot better. When i finish the buggy i am thinking about also get an onroad car, i know a place where they race them every saturday.

Lol, drift tyres ftw.

Longer Final drive made it much better at low speeds
shame it was just so restriced for space when the shell was on, fuel tank was tiny, esecially after the conversion!Have spent god knows how much on rc cars over the years, T-maxx, HPI RS4 with all the HPI up-grades, Tamiya TL-01, Kyosho sand master.. all happy memorys
... and alot cheaper than "real car tuning"
