his 1st RC car..... a petrol?
hum personally i'd go for electric for the 1st year but hey thats just me.
i used to race Touring cars at National level, used to make the lower end finals, think i made an E final at Torc which was a big thing for me back then!
havnt run my car for about 2 years now, been spending money onthe nova mainly!

from what i can make out its got very expensive now!
