new RCer looking to get into offroading

[RCmad79]

Hi all, my name is Mark, I live in Scarborough and am 32 yrs old. I am looking to get into offroad RCing. I would love to travel over to you guys to do some racing, are there any suggestions for a 540 class or something not too expensive to be able to use? I havent got anything yet, but am close to 2 hobby stores. Many thanks in advance, Mark.

hi mark, i have a b4.1 for sale and some other bits, i could probably sell you a full car setup for 540 class if you are interested?

edited due to rethinking my response : Thankyou for the offer, that is very kind of you, how much are you looking at and what does it come with?

Oooh... I wonder what the initial response was, that needed to be edited:

"I've heard about you, Mr Fong. You and your inappropriate trouser wearing. Be away with you before I summon a constable."

For 540 class, a B4 like Mr Fong's would be a great choice. Or maybe an Ansmann Mad Rat.

Why not come down on Saturday and have a chat to a few people? We're all very friendly.

My initial response was that I was looking what type/style of cars that I can buy from my local hobby shop, as in the ones that look like trucks, short course etc, but thinking about it, someone who has experience showing me something they have for sale would be very good

I cant make it this weekend, but can the weekend after, also the last train back to scarborough is at 10pm from york. Is the place you guys race far from the station?

Just a quick continuation from the facebook discussion...

The number 5 bus does NOT got to or from York station - you'd have to walk a few hundred meters down the road to Monument Gardens/station avenue to get it.
