Hi all,
Used to race as a kid about 400 years ago and now keen to get back into it and get my kids involved (basically they can watch me!).
Thinking of going for a Schumacher Top Cat as always wanted one and the simplicity of 2WD. Reading into it, everything has changed and feels like a different language now so after some advice. Will be using for fun but hopefully some racing (which locally will be indoors/short courses), so not worried about going superfast and don't want to break the bank either (and quite like the idea of longer run times).
Looking for any advice about ESC's (hobbywing 1060 or 80 quid for one!! or even more for brushless!!!), batteries, motor, servo's, r/c transmitter/receiver etc etc (everything!), and whether some needs to be brand new or go 2nd hand to get up and running.
Bit confused about whether to go brushed or brushless (realise would have to be greater than 17.5T on the basic setup either way)
Will also likely end up buying another car for the kids to blast around in so potentially happy to spend a bit less now if upgrading later (although generally buy well once is my approach) and make sure I use it enough to warrant the investment.
