Evening,

I loved my rc cars back in the early 90s. Had a tamiya hornet that was just bashed round the garden/park etc. Graduated to a tamiya manta ray that I spent a few quid upgrading & racing. Finished up with a Schumacher cougar that was raced every weekend & had every penny I had spent on it! Due to my shed roof collapsing last year & losing what was left of the manta ray & cougar I've been wanting something to build. Nostalgia points towards a new Hornet but I really fancy getting something brushless & capable of racing at a decent level.

Any suggestions?
Really want something I can build rather than ready to run.

Would love to get into large scale petrol but to much money!

Probably be looking at 1/10 off road. Budget of £200 to start off with.
Thinking of getting a tamiya kit to scratch that itch then something more modern. Like the look of the rtx carnage brushless.

By the sounds of a rere RC10 worlds would be right up your street, I've got one sat here waiting for me to finish my house move and it's agony not being able to start it!
