Word, you remember the guy is the F355 Spider? He didn't want any!

You can get some used on ebay for around $150 RTR (Ready to Run) let me know if you need hellp chosing a good one.

Brand new 1/10 scale can run from $150-$400 gas to electric. But the Nitro versions impresses the audience.

Hey Kev help me choose an engine and wheels and stuff. I want the WRC focus gas powered one. I have no clue where to start and do you goto event's or anything. Sounds like it would be alot of fun

for starters i would go with an HPI 1/10 sclae Nitro kit, mainly because parts are readily available for every application.

As far as the WRC Focus body goes; you can get any body for any pretty much car. Just make sure it is consistent with the scale.

I don't attend any events. The hobby isn't highly supported like it is out in California, but we do find nice vacant lots to run them in. :D

yea these things are awesome, For anyone who is around the Cumming area, and know where HobbyTown is up here. On sundays they have a small track setup for R/C's, at least when it is nice out.
