Barney.exe Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Hi, great forum, I've lurked for a few weeks, but only made my account tonight. My first RC cars had a wire that connected the remote to the car.....yes, I'm that old!. As technology advanced the cable receded, vehicles were free to roam, controlled from afar (ish). My first proper RC was a Panda "Danny Thompson Stadium Racer", nitro, got if from Christmas, think I was about 12yo, clueless (Should have got electric). Fast forward 30 years and I'm itching to get back into RC, nothing competitive, just messing about in the park. I'd like a RTR, the Rival MT10 is v. appealing, but a bit pricey. Ideally I'd like 2 RC trucks that can bash about in the park, & cope with cut grass - be nice for me and my son. Can't really afford 2 MT10's, so wondering what's on the market, upgradable, available parts, hardy and ideally under £200 each Not my pic, but it brought back some memories Edited September 9, 2022 by Barney.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Tempted to suggest the FTX brushless Zorro, it will handle short grass and seems to be a decent truck.....this one https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-zorro-1-10-trophy-truck-ep-brushless-4wd-rtr-orange-1338861 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMB Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Welcome! Have you looked at Short Course trucks. You can pick up a used Traxxas Slash fairly cheap these days. There are other alternatives too, the Slash was the original popular choice. I've had mine years, handles lot's of abuse and parts are easy to get. Bit pricey new, but you might get lucky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Would you be willing to go used for that budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
