Hi again, since you were so helpful. Just wondering if buying all the new radio gear (trans/receiver, ESC) would work for a car upgrade later i.e. could transfer across to another chassis or upgrade? for example, would it also work with brushless motor, Lipo etc or could I spend a little more now and be compatible later? or is it a bigger price jump? TBH, with all the bits I might need for the hornet (new tyres, bearings, new shell body, stickers, paint) it's getting close to just buying a new car and using the old for spares. In which case, perhaps something a little more modern but which I could try the new electronic gear in the old hornet for variety or for the boy (7yrs) to get used to it first. So if new car, back garden grass doesn't cut very fine, so would need something with bigger ground clearance and fatter tyres. any ideas on that also please? thanks in advance, zebber

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive response. Pretty much tells me all I need to know in one go. Like the upgrade suggestions too as I like to fettle and get more performance. I could easily get sucked in and carried away! Off to look at various things right now, thanks again. Zebber

Hi, My lad has started badgering me about RC cars. I pulled out my original Hornet, bought a new battery, inserted brand new transmitter and receiver batteries and ... Nothing. No twitching with power on switch at all. I manually moved the speed controller too, zilch. Any ideas on where to start please? Just ordered a voltmeter. Thanks,
