happy days!!
I started off with a knackered Tamiya Subsru pick up 2wd thingy I bought from a school classmate, then had a Hot Shot with a Kyosho 480T motor and 8.4v battery pack... it went like a stabbed rat

Progressed onto the BMT 1/8th scale 3.5cc circuit racers then bought a Serpent 1/8th and a 1/10th scale as well.
I used to go to the circuit at Mendip near jcn 21 on the M5. I still have a nearly new Nova Rossi 3.5cc engine with an exhaust and the 1/10 scale model has the winning F1 GTR body livery from the Ueno Clinic sponsored car
If you put into YouTube Serpent 1/8 racing you'll be amazed how fast these models go !!!!!
