Questions?? Need Advice

Hi all,

I have a bunch of questions to ask you..

I'm looking to get a Tamiya mini for my second class as they're cheap and from experience I know they're a lot of fun! But the last time I owned one was back in 2005. I think the second version was just released(longer version?) and that was the one I got.

I remember them as horrible handling, good race bashers and a ton of fun!

I don't have a great memory, so I don't really know anything about minis anymore.

Which mini would have the best handling? I want one that turns good and won't roll much. (after some experience)

Also, are there any KITS that comes with all electronics? I'll probably be investing in a new receiver either way so I can use the same radio for both my cars.

What spare parts should I stock up on?

Are there any Tamiya upgrades I should get? Not looking to put too much money into it though. I won't take it that seriously compared to my touring car.

Should I be getting spare tires? If yes, what kind?

How much do you think I will be spending on everything? I know +$305 for kit, transponder and receiver.

So far looking at the M-03L and M-05 kits..

Any answers or advice is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
