Thanks chaps, I see your points!
To get back on to the electric scene for the summer I had pondered on the idea of getting an SV 2, mainly cause of the price (£149) but then I'd still need all new electrics.
Is it more cost effective to get a RTR? if so, what would you recommend?
On the nitro side, I've always fancied something with an engine to tinker around with. Something you could put in the back of the car anytime and thrash around for a couple of hours.
