    I started into rc with the RB10 about 5 months ago. I spent about $450 to get the car, battery, and charger, along with a few extra parts initially. I started out in the beginner class and am still there right now. I have spent a lot of my free time learning and watching videos on just about every aspect of rc that I run into or think of. I've watched a lot of your videos and many others from so many channels on youtube. Over the months I've looked around and tried to find ways of upgrading my car. I am slowly building up the necessary components to run my RB10 as a 17.5 buggy with a blinky mode esc. A lot of people get in a hurry to get all the things they want to drive a specific class. I'm content to run and learn in a beginner class for now. Maybe I'll have all I need to move up to a more advanced or faster class a year from now. I don't know. The point is I'm not in a hurry to get to the next phase. I'm here to have fun first and foremost. After that, it's about figuring out solutions to problems I encounter and helping others if they need a helping hand.

      Stay away from anyone who just wants to brag or just talks about stock vs mods like their special, I've seen alot drop out of the hobby bc of ppl like that, if it's a good club you should be able to ask any questions you have on setups etc

    In my club, the top sct contenders tend to sell their rigs at the end of the season after or before buying new rigs so I got 3 used cars for my team for cheap, and in installments 🎉😅
    Everything I own and race is used haha😂
    I started with a used 2wd Slash and I'll donate it to a charity raffle instead of selling it

    Another good way to race on a budget is racing mini z. While the faster classes do demand a lot of money. the stock and box stock classes are relatively cheap compared to the bigger scales. They're also a good way to improve your driving or get good quickly. These little cars are extremely tricky to drive but if you master it! Then the bigger scales become easy.

    Buying name brand race kits as the new ones are coming out. The "last years" kits are still great for most people and sometimes on huge discount from amain and other retailers. Or used cars from market place are a good deal. they sometimes come with extra parts and tires. Great videos as always keep it up.

    Bought my first RTR Slash when they first came out in '08? Ran it a few times that day, that night tore it all the way down and cleaned everything. Great way to understand how the car works and diagnose problems on that track with faster repairs. I'm the moron who does in fact read the stereo instructions lol

    just got back into rc over the last few weeks, bought uses rtrs for the cost of less than a new kit all i had to do was slap a battery and receiver in. best way to race rc on a budget is to let someone else take the hit on the cost of new.

    Great video. I for one am getting back into the hobby, so price is key. Racing was big in my area when I was younger but today it just seems bashing is the thing? I would love to get back into racing and in doing this I’ve looked to the used market. There I can find from the bigger more established names a roller that I can update and configure on a slightly cheaper budget, but staying true to the hobby be creative in design, seeing that some of the older models parts are not in abundance but there are some close. RTRs are great but really take the hobby out of the name?

    If you want to get in to RC racing for cheap, then go to your local club and ask them, there's always a guys sellin last year's car and he'll porbably set you p for $300 not £1000

    Haha, nice! That Yokomo looked terrible, was that the car or the driver? 🤣 For transponders, if your track runs older AMB timing systems, the MRT is a clone and works well for under $80.
