Red 16 there a pain in the arse you have to bleed the fookers all the time air bubbles etc etc and when your in a field freezing your tits of trying to bleed them its a nightmare...But you do need them as these cars go over 70mph..
You can fit a 2speed box to them as well which is a great sound...with the exhaust note two these are great toys to play with....

Was big into 1/8 buggy racing last year...Had a Kyosho MP777 WC edition with the top of the line (at the time) .21 sirio race engine. Started to get out of it though when the club started to become all politics and the fun was taken out of racing....
Also have:
Kyosho FW05
Traxxas T-Maxx, LWB and .21 converted from when it was the thing to do
Traxxas Nitro Rustler
Tamiya Sand Scorcher
Tamiya Mountaineer
Tamiya Lancia 037 Rally
Worked in a modelshop for 3 years up until 6 months ago, Drove most of the major cars both cheap and expensive and IMHO i always found the cheaper stuff more fun to use, Just fire it up and off you go, None of the starter box and co. to be messing about with
