welcome back from a long break . i was in the same position as you are now was about 12 years since i raced i had the lazer zxr . the motors and batteries are a lot better now if you are looking for a good buggy id go for the tamiya trf 511 with a 6.5 brushless motor this is what i race and i admit now im not the best out there but the 511 is so nice to drive it will make it easy for you to get back into racing
