1/8 Buggy's are booming at the moment as is 1/10 ep offroad both of these classes are extremly popular at the moment

really depends what you want to race and what tracks are in your local area.see whats popular locally and which you would rather do (onroad,offroad,nitro,ep)

cheers

Yeah I would check which clubs are close as the first thing. For example my nearest 1/10th off-road club is 15mins away, my nearest 1/8th off-road is well over an hour away.

On-road vs off-road? I'd go to both and just have a look, see what takes your fancy. Off-road has jumps and the surface is inconsistent, which makes it heaps of fun. On-road is fast and technical, so very different.

Based on parts and your three preferences there, I'd say 1/10th scale electric on-road would be the easiest/cheapest to get started with.

Yep good call from both the other responses, see which clubs are close to you then make a call, also worth your time to spend a couple of weekends at each of the closer ones and then decide.
