Getting back to the hobby
Hi guys new member here. I am thinking of getting back to the hobby and wanted some opinions. My first r/c that I assembled was the Tamiya Grasshopper back in 1984 then went to Associated RC12L. After many years I started again on with Tamiya Clodbuster then finally Xpress Roadrunner. Believe it or not I still have my Clodbuster and Xpress Roadrunner stored and in good condition. I used to go to local track for weekend races with the Roadrunner.
What would you guys suggest would be a great on road electric r/c?
Thank you.

Good times there, I still have my 12i and 12l from the days before 1/10 scale begain. As for today the best answer is at your local track/s, I still love 1/12 racing but also do touring and 1/10 pan. It all depends upon what kind of racing is going on in your area. As far as suggestions: for touring I find the x-ray cars hard to beat in terms of build and quality, and hyperdrive for 1/10 pan.

XRay has a great line of TC cars. I have two of them but they are pricey, around $350 for the T2 and $390 for the T2 007. However if you are getting into the hobby again. Look at Hot Bodies Cyclone or the Tamiya TA05. Both good competitive TCs and around $125 each, new.

Okay will check out my local track.
X ray? Is that a new brand? The ones I remember from way back when were brands like Hpi, Tamiya, Team associated, Xpress, Schumacher, Kyosho, and so on. Any of those still around?
1/12 scale back in style? Too bad I dont have my Team associated RC12L anymore.

Here is a link to the x-ray sitehttp://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/ind...6ed979b77685ec
And yes those brands you listed are still here and also have many excelent choices for touring. As far as 1/12 if its going in your area check out the 1/12 thread here and you'll see all the latest and greatest in that segment of the R/C world.
