Maddy's Bmax is about the best buy you'll get, plus he's a racer at our club so can help you getting started with the car.

Failing that, there are still plenty of Durango 210RTR's going super cheap. JE Models still have 1 in stock (and with 10% discount) and MB Models have several at £154. They will need a lipo plus charger and ideally the parts needed for converting to mid motor (about £20) to be fully operational.

I agree with Si regarding the BMAX, it's a good deal and a nice car (better than a 210 IMO)

Cheers guys,
Ste ive a spare charger you can have for an extra fiver that run off 12 volts so your car battery will be fine or get an adapter to plug in the mains,with this lot you wont need anything else.
Cheers dave

Hi ste,
2 will make you a better driver so they say...and there are more ppl race 2wd at bury.
2wd is a great class and very popular and makes for great close racing,
I too drove 5th scale so coming from that to 10th is a big change and i must say i love it,we have some great banter between us all thats what makes it a very friendly club,
You will enjoy every meeting here as no one is left out in any way and there are always someone who will help you out in anyway,from spares to set up tips.
Hope this helps ste.
Dave
