For me I bought a second hand Losi MRC for £100 then the wheels £60 odd, the body £30 then other bits and pieces, I made mine over the course of a year which really spread the cost

hmm I see, I'm tempted to have a go myself, will have to do some research, what scale is yours? I've seen the 1/10 scale bodies for a rc car..

i have had a quick look for a Losi MRC but cannot find one on ebay, would any rc car chassis work as long as its the correct wheel base for the sj body?
