tiko---- It really depends on which avenue you would like to go...Battery way's I mean. If your looking to run NiMh I would suggest a great starter car that has low entry cost's is a Associated car(because LHS carry alot of parts). However If your looking towards the future. Consider the BMI DB12RR. Man that's a nice rig. Gonna purchase one once I get back from vacation with the family. "Hint Hint" Jason!!! Drove last year's car tonight and man that thing is on rails.
