    I am looking for a rc car under 100 euro but I most of these are just cheap toys. Does anyone know of a good car in this price range?

    If your looking for a good rc car, 100 euro isn't going to get you very far. I would be spending up to 400 euro on a HPI or a similar brand to get you the car you need.

    Sorry protog777 I don't think you read my question. I was wondering about budget cars not 400€ ones. Sorry about that.

    Ive a few suggestions, but just want to check with you.
    is 100 your absolute limit?

    Do you plan to race it, or just bash it?

    Do you have batteries/chargers/transmitters etc already or are thes included in your 100 budget?

    I'm just looking for a hobby grade ready to run car. I have no plans to race and I don't want to go too far over 100.

    Alrighty then,
    well you could look at this, http://www.modellbau-seidel.de/index.php?firma=Tamiya&best=58587#bild

    it says they wont ship electronics, but they will. (i know im their best customer)

    You will need a servo, transmitter/reciever and battery/charger to get going.

    Take a look at MB models in UK https://www.rccarshop.co.uk/ for that stuff. You should be able to get everything you need for less than 150.

    Also if you look at MBs RTR cars, theres a couple of Kyoshos that include everything for about 150. Anything you get from michael, he has spares for.


    I had a look at some second hand stuff, but most are race kits and outside of your budget.

    Lastly, click on the link in my sig, and look at Getting Started, plenty of info there
