Default Poss buying a xr2 race car

i know a few people race them on here, are they as much fun as they look

a mate of mine is selling his xr2 race car which im very intrested in, i was building a 4x4 esc cos race car but the expense is massive if i want to be competative in there class, plus running cost are alot more than the xr2 and ive never done any racing before, so i think starting with the xr2 may be a better option as its a ful complete car ready to go and the fastest in class a year ago, which also set the lap record for a 1.6 at silverstone i think it was

it has a full ht race spec motor, which seems really fit, been a while since i had a cvh motor

il get some pics up shortly
