At start 1/10 GP or EP will be better to handle.
1/10 GP, NT1 is has the highest no. of player
1/10 EP, T3 and 417 will not let u down
1/8 GP, for sure Mugen MRX5, its a big heat
Suggest u to go to TRC, they have both GP and EP tracks. All of lot of the people are very willing to help if u ask.
Appreciate your helpful summary. It gives me a better general idea. More comments please, if possible. Is the RX8 too new (I see it was released earlier this year) and the product is not yet matured? Just a guess.
Just bought a 4PKS to get ready. Any building and setting up service for RC Cars. Will TRC do that for you? I know nobody in the RC Car playing field.
