PS really like the 3 RACING Sakura Zero S but I dont know where to get it over here. And parts might be tricky...?
Muchmore bring in 3Racing stuff, but never took to the Zero as they already had the TOP Photon on their books. The easiest place is to import directly from HK - RC Mushroom, RC Mart, RC Market HK, the usual culprits. Parts are super cheap for the Zero. The cost of 2 Zero S kits would be roughly the same as one used Mi4 LP, if you miss customs!

Keep an eye out for used TCs - touring cars go out of date faster than yoghurt (though I think it's driven as much by fashion as actual speed improvements!), so someone else's last-season cast off is potentially your new starter car.

I'm having to sell my Team Magic E4RS because it'll not get a decent run till next winter season (and there's a chance I may not be able to do that either), so it has to go while it's worth something, and I'll stick with my E4JS, the one I got for £55 on ebay, as it's devalued as much as it ever will!
