Does anyone know where i can get hold of a remote control car that you build up from scratch?
I don't want to just buy one fully ready to go and u just stick batterys in, i wanna build it part by part.
Any help would be great

http://www.modelsport.co.uk --->excellent prices on there trust me, they do full packs that include everything to get u started. For a beginner or expert, Taimya are the bollox. They TL-01 4wd chassis is mental. Then u can get the scooby, evo, focus, corrolla etc shells to fit it. I got one with uprated suspension, motor and an excellent speed controller, and u shud see the powerslides that are possible on a wet tarmac car park......its all a bit mental.
The rear wheel drive chassis (TL-04) is excellent for this too, but not many shells or spares available.
After xmas i'm gonna build up a petrol 4wd taimya evo VIII and tune that. shud b a laugh, but it is a very ££ hobby. lol

If modelzone r/c cars cost as much as they're 1/24 scale models then it's going to be a right rip off.

That's a bargain.
