I want to get into it for fun. Plus ive always loveds motorcycle, cars, dirtbikes Motorsports and all forms of racing, Rc seems like the only affordable option

Hi Zac, great video. I used to race when I was a kid (the classic Traxxas Bandit), is there any kits available that you would suggest that are the same kind of thing where you have to build everything yourself, or do they all come pre made these days? Half the fun back then for me was building it up in the first place. I guess I'd be looking at Electric 1/10th scale again, if there's enough people already racing in that class..? Thanks!

Hi Paul, all race cars still come as kits and you have to build them, its about being a good mechanic and a driver to going fast! For 1/10 I would stick with the two brands, Team Associated (AE) or Team Losi Racing (TLR), they have both been doing it for so long and have excellent parts support. If you're based in South East Queensland Aus then Chargers RC (www.chargersrc.net/) is the place to go for anything 1/10 racing, we mainly race 1/8 at PHDR (www.pinehillsdirtracing.com)
