  bah go Tamiya!
  
  world champs merc :p
  
  tb02 is a good starter kit comes with some hop ups standard ie bearings, oil shocks, alloy shaft and heat sink. plus tamiya build quailty is great!
  
  but yeah type of rc would be great cause there is a world of offroad!
  
  i myself love my zip zap monster considering getting another to hop-up LOL

  AHAHAHAH TD.. HPI came 2nd adn 3rd and tehn at the DHI cup hara blitzed reinhart.. also teh TT01 compares NOTHING to the 415 (world champ car) belt/shaft .. also teh evo4 driven by shurikarn (last years world champ) was crap (the evo 4 not shurkarn)… now shurkarn drives a HPI doingbetter with it than teh evo4.. in my opinion (and probly virgin atlantics .. although wont admit it) the sprint is better.. lol

  LOL i knew that would get u start merc old boy :p
  
  yeah yeah so its a good rc tt01 aint great i admit that. but still theres other cars besides hpi and tamiya.
  
  starters depends where you get them from 400- 450 useally comes with everything in it.
  
  or go hong kong internet shopping get them for cheaper.
  
  hey merc they come with an alloy shaft but an alloy motor mount is a must if runing hotter motors or if your going to run it for long periods.

  good drivers win no matter what brand car they drive, race stats don’t really mean much for the beginner. the biggest concern for you is can you look after it and is it fun!:clown: i reckon you should look at a tamiya mini, lotsa fun, tough as boots and easy to drive:smiley2::8ball:

  m04 is that the the rear wheel drive ones?
  
  they look interesting. but why the fasination?
  
  also a baja king is a cheap offroader why not consider that one good if you dont have to much smooth stuff.

  well, i have a couple of Kyosho Spider EP touring cars for sale in the for sale forums, have a look at the details there, lemme know if u want photos as i can send you photos of everything you’ll get, $350 for 2 cars and 2x 3300 batteries and everything else ready to run. use 1 car as a runner and other 1 as spares if you want to run it. these things are unbreakable, alloy chassis and gas car suspension… think about it and lemme know if ur interested.
