What are the on going expenses: tyres, club fees, etc. ?
Recommended stores/websites to buy from
I am in Brisbane - from what I can rather gas cars are not very popular - why is that ?
Cheers !
Hi Mate,
We have the 1/10th Electric State titles on the October Long weekend. ( 2 weeks time) if you would like to come and see what electric on-road is all about. Otherwise we are racing at Bayside next Saturday night.
It can cost as much or as little as you like to get into racing. There are kits that start at about $150 and go upwards from there. Batteries you can pick up from
www.hobbyking.com from as little as $40 approx a pack and 2 would do you. As for tyres you dont need a new set each time you race unless you are out there to win every time but as you are learning a set would last you ages.
As for Mini's no one races them up in Brisbane anymore so it would be pointless to get one if you are considering racing.
I hope this helps you out.
Cheers
Nudge
