G'Day Floyd,
 FR> is there a track you frequent ? perhaps someone has some used gear..
No, there is a local club/track I was thinking of joining, I will ask
there if any one has gear.
 FR> I run an associated rc-10 myself...pretty much typical in my racing
 FR> format of offroad racing..
Can you recommend any reliable brands? Eg Schumacher, Losi, Tamiya,
Yokomo?
I have seen the Schumacher Cougar 2000 in action and it rips! :)  Also
another car I have had my eyes on is Losi JRX Pro, although the price
is a little too much.
 FR> 2 wheel is cheaper to buy and maintain though 4 wheel is easier to
 FR> control if you have a good hobby shop nearby  then by all
 FR> means go there. his advice and input are worth their weight
 FR> in gold. I was very fortunate in that aspect with my racing.
 FR> mail order is cheaper but they can't help trouble shoot a
 FR> problem or tell you this is what the other guys have sucess
 FR> with in your area.
 FR> as you gain experience then you can do the mail order scene if that's
 FR> better price wise, though don't expect the hobby shop owner to be as
 FR> friendly with the advice with these parts. (g)
Most of the hobby shops seem a tad over priced, maybe mail order might
be best. I will just keep hunting around.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
