brushless motor setups and lipo batterys are pretty much better than petrol/nitro nowadays

more costly , but far more upgradeable/tuneable/relaible than the ones you have bought

Ive got that one, loads of fun with 4x4.

 Also got the mini (british leyland ) and the old monster beetle. Ive shredded the front tyres on the mini, my 8 year old loves them. He broke a trak rod off the monster beetle. parts for them are like rocking horse poo now.

I really need to bring them into the 21st century though with some electronic speed units etc. Job for next summer

I had all these years ago had a super astute they was cool and the forumla one cars were well quic then started racing the 1/5th scale FG cars I worked in the model shop at weekends so use to get them trade + vat and also use to get tuned team motors that were not available to the public seriusly quick would easily top 90mph. The retail price for them was about £2500 

Done a good job there mate looks smart

Reading this thread has made me want to get one for myself for xmas
Ive got some woods over my fence with loads of jumps and stuff so would love a 4x4.It's a residentiaal area so electric would be preferable also if it was petrol im sure i would want to tune the tits off it after one run.
Anyone recommend a good site or a specific all in kit for say £200?
