looks like a gd price for that car! however, its similar design to hpi's and tbh, they are nothing but trouble! they'll spend more time getting fixed than getting driven, trust me. I do have a car for sale that would be gd for a beginner

let me know if u want pics.

hpi arent bad cars really, but for trashing around car parks tbh you not gonna need many spares if your careful enough. www.modelsport.co.uk ive used them a few times seem quite good there.

Being careful doesnt mean it wont need parts! They rev really high and then parts vibrate loose and become lost?!

What you want is a car with a big engine, ie. .21 (ci) size or above, so the engine never has to strain much, ensuring reliability! hpi's and other on road cars have .12 and .15 engines which scream the whole time and wear alot quicker!
