Electric RC cars

Postby Hoggy » Tue Mar 17, 2009 1:17 pm

Something I have wanted to get into for ages but never had. Am looking at buying my first ever Radio Control Car but don't know where to start. I think I want an off road one as there is more places to go with it, think I want to start by buying a complete ready to drive set that I can then build upon and don't want to spend more than ~$300

Anyone point me to good brands, things to look out for etc etc??

Maybe you can get a model evox and gut it out and put RC parts in it

Mate try http://www.rctech.net/forum/australia-sale-trade-103/
You will also find club info in Sydney if you desire to race it on RCTECH

I have got a few great deals on this site.

I personally prefer the Losi and Team Associated brands. These cars seem to be the go at our club.
I have a Team Associated RC10 T4 (Stadium Truck) that I race every second weekend in Brisbane.

Also for what its worth I would rather have a second hand Team Associated or Losi then a brand new Duratrax.

Hey man, try Newcastle Model Auto Sport's and hobbies, this is where i got my RC off road petrol one.

Frontline hobbies are too exp, and these guys know what there talking about. They also service them and stock most spare parts.

2. I am not! need to practice driving this thing
