I had a Schumacher Axis 2 (electric) for 2 years, then I got into planes. Cos of messing about with 2 strokes on my planes, I decided to get a Nitro car as well, and went for the Kyosho GP Astra. This is a great car!!! Comes with everything you need (bar fuel), is prebuilt, and really easy to start and tune in. The book price is 229ukp, I got mine for 179ukp off Ebay, from Phil Greeno models, he still sells them on there.

Just found this on Ebay, for a CEN RTR, which are even better cars again (280ukp in the shops)

No I don't race at a track, although the club I fly in, some of us take cars, and race on the car park there. I used to race my Schumacher electric car, but am more into planes now.
