Best Electric R/C cars for around £100

[Burbleboy]

Hi folks,

Just as title says, plan to shop for electric 1:10 scale cars to race with my mates as we all had nitro cars a few years back, but were pee'd off at the expense and hassle of running them!
After a recent discussion, we want to get back into random race days as it was great fun.

Can anyone reccommed fast, 'touring car' style, electric cars that are good for close racing? My mates plan to buy same as me (different bodies obviously)

Cheers

Where are you planning to race them? You need a large tarmac area to race 1/10 touring cars.

Find your local RC car club, and see what they run.

+1 this is will help you more then any review on the internet, and what ever you get make sure you can easily get spares

We can race them in my huge work yard on a sunday! We are not doing it competitively, just as hobby between friends...

TBH, £100 doesn't buy you much in the way of "proper" RC setups. You';; get a car for that, but the radio and charging gear will cost more than that.

How about a Mardave V12: http://www.mardave.co.uk/rc-car-kits.html?cat=110

They're pretty basic, but tough, and easy to repair if anything does go wrong.

If you're bashing about a yard, then maybe something with more clearance would be useful ?
