Default electric car wanted

Hi, I am looking to buy an electric rc car because my kyosho sandmaster requires a new recoil system and fuel tank. Not looking to spend more than £70 reallyor more than £30 plus the sandmaster with an Os. max engine as a part exchange. I am a beginner but want to have some fun so it has to be resonably fast - not like a kids car lol . Thanks

HI.

You might consider the Team Magic E4JR. It is a very nice electric RTR which is fully upgradeable should you decide to upgrade. It is a well made car. The following is a link to our website that gives you details about the car.

This car is also a natural drifter. The following is a Youtube link to a fans website: http://www.youtube.com/user/whdistribution (look for the E4JR Drift clip).

Anyway, what ever you choose-Enjoy!

For that money your gonna be hard pressed im afraid over here,check out the hpi e10 retails around 80-90 or save a bit more and look at the tamiya TT series,my advice would be 2nd hand on ebay or save a bit more as you get what you pay for in RC.
You could grab hold of one of the knockoffs brands from ebay for that price but your better off getting a decent brand so parts are easy to get hold off etc.

You can find a RTR TT-01 used on ebay for around $150 or so in which case 100 pounds should be enough.
