First time rc model

[Blacklabel21]

I'm interested in rc electric cars but have never bought one before and unsure what to get.
I was thinking about a tamiya tl01 chassis

what is ur budget? r u into off-road or onroad? a little more information would be helpful

[mike@af]

You are definately on the right foot by calling the RC the proper name, chassis, instead of calling it a Tamiya 350Z. So you definately know you buy chassis' instead of cars.

Ahh yes how may we help you.

I'm in England and I'm guessing your all in america so my budget may mean not very much to you. I would prefer on road as there are a lot of clubs near me which mainly focus on on road cars.

What kind of car. Check my thread that is sticky'd at the top of the page.

hmmm well since ur new to RC cars, do not get gas powerd, get electric, will save u time, money, and a lot of hasstle, 2nd, i would suggest u get a RTR (ready to run) package, u can always upgrade later on

There are 2 rtr cars which I like, a hpi sprint rtr and a tamiya xb. Both look amazing. I was also interested in joining a club so I don't know which out of the 2 is better. If anyone owned 1 of them it would be a real help if you could tell me a bit of infomation on them.

My other option was to get a used tl01 off ebay which is ready to race.

You may want to also consider the Tamiya TB-02. From what I've heard it's a good car right out of the box. And if you want to get serious and race, there are a ton of available hop-ups.

Thanks.

both the tb-o2 and sprint are great cars i prefer the sprint more than the tb-02
