which is the greater buy

[WolfAir]

Hey all. Well my brother owes me £700 and a friend of mine owes me £400. Now I know my brother will probably not pay me back which leaves me with £400. Now my problem lies with what to spend it on a ps4 or couple of seriously cool electric rc cars.. Links below. Im thinking cars But my ps3 xbox360 wii and snes are feeling lonely so what do the ph massive think?

Use some of the money to go through the small claims court and get the larger amount back, including outlay for this and hey presto!! you have been reimbursed for both.

Horizon Hobby are pretty good. I've just bought an ECX Circuit 4x4 as mine will spend most of it's time jumping, on mud or gravel and they're great.

One thing I would say is, spend £40 on a 5100mah battery though, the battery lives on them are poor, a full charge on the 2400 it came with usually lasts about 15 minutes?

Other than that, great cars, well made too.

Hi,

I have no advice for you, but I just wondered if I could borrow a couple hundred quid off you?

Thanks,

What makes you think you will get the money off a mate any quicker?
Sounds like you should just buy the console.

I have always loved rc cars but never really had them. I looked at the nitro or petrol versions but they seem
a)out of my experience
b)out of my price, at least starting the hobby
Will definitely look into the high capacity battery, never occurred to me cheers.

My mate will pay me back although he likes being stingy I am expecting payment by end of Feb. My brother on the other hand... well he is my brother, he likes to live cristal lifestyle on a lemonade budget , I will never let him forget it but chances are I will probably be lending (read:giving) him more in the future.
I have consoles and I really enjoy them when I have time but I have never really had good quality rc cars.

Do you have a large flat bit of tarmac nearby you can run these cars on? At 1:10 they are a bit big for the living room carpet.

If no seriously consider getting an off-roader, something like the Axial Yeti or Vaterra Twin Hammers will still be quick but can be run on grass and mud, otherwise known as the back garden or local park.

if you like building stuff then Tamiya still offer some of the best builds, especially if you can stretch the budget to one of the 3-speed kits.

The petrol and Nitro ones can be a sod to get going and need constant looking at. I bought a £150 off road RC car, and was giving it a real hard time, as was my OH who managed to smack it into a kerb at full speed -.-!

Larger battery = fun for longer and a rapid charger = less time waiting between fun.
