I have a very little use Ansman mad monkey, which I think is a team C TC02C in all but name. It's mid mounted motor, has some spares etc. No electrics included. Looking for £55 posted which I think is s bargain. PM me if interested, let me know your e-mail and I'll send some pics.

I spent a lot of money in the past on all the gear, but never really got time to get into it and ended up selling it all. As a result I don't want to make the same mistake again so I'm trying to keep the costs down.

It's mainly going to be used to bash about and attend some local races, just to see if I get into it, if I do then I'll get something a little better and pass the budget model down to my 4 year old son.

What I've come across so far are things like the Maverick Strada XB Brushless, FTX Vantage Brushless, and one I've found recently that I seem to like is a Team C TR02 V2 RTR, this one provides upgrade options if I wanted to keep it longer, but I'm unsure about parts availability as it seems not many people sell this make/model.

I'm not expecting to really compete with the big guys, just attend a few races, have some fun, hopefully get the hang of it and upgrade/move onto better if I need to.

Some links:

Team C TR02 V2 RTR - https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/247800/
Maverick Strava XB - https://www.modelsport.co.uk/maveric...roducts/408632
FTX Vantage - https://www.modelsport.co.uk/ftx-van...products/40388

Any advice would be appreciated, are either of these more robust than the other? Maverick and FTX seem easy to get parts for.
