Practice, practice, practice. I've been racing rc cars for 15 years now and in no way could compete above club level. The skill and talent of most the "pros" is nothing short of amazing. Very few people have the raw talent.

Just because you can make it around a track without crashing doesn't make you fast.

Definetly look at the losi rtr if your set on a rtr. Figure to compete at the expert club level you are looking at atleast a $1500 car between motor/kit/pipe/electronics/transponder etc.

Those hyper 7s are really outdated. Heavy as hell and lacking in performance. If you are really into buying a hyper, look at the new hyper 9, or you can find 8ight 1.0 rollers on ebay or here for pretty cheap if you are on a budget.
