I rather fancy one.
Don't mind spending some cash ~£100-150ish.
What do I get?

If you just want a nice cheap off road one then you can get a HPI Rush Evo for less than a 100.
Had them and they are a right laugh!

I bought an electric racer a while back cost me £200 with everything to go racing with it. Visited the local racing club once and decided they were all geeks and I never went back and never used the car again.
That was two years ago and its still sat in the spare bedroom

Same as me, I bought a 70mph one. Cost a shit load, was good fun for a few weeks. Always ended up breaking it. Not used it for years now.

i bought 1 years ago for around 200 quid, 1st week it was good fun while it lasted then i broke it, got it repaired then something else broke had to replace the clutch on it and was told be a mate its easy to do so had a go but then it appeared to be jammed i havnt used it since
its also worth noting that once they go out of range they dont cut out but instead keep running at whatever speed it was just before they went out of range

I had one, used it for a while then it sat in a box till I sold it. They are great fun but trying to find a nice space to use them is annoying. They're not exactly quiet and piss a few people off.
