What kind of racing are you interested in? With 350pounds you can't get a pure racecar like the RRR,NT1 etc. but you'll be able to buy an RS4 18ss or ntc3 and modify it so that it stands well on track, for open events.

Rs4-3 18ss is a good car, but for racing on a budget, I'd go for the ntc3 with a good .12 engine

with around $700, you can get a car such as the NTC3, and then put a very powerful engine in it, and buy the radio and servos for it. Engines such as RB's and novarossis are very good, and so is the O.S. 12TZ

No get the FW-RR version...it's the best choice and with the proper engine can even beat the monsters (NT1,RRR) at medium/big tracks if your skill is good enough.

But why are they so expensive here? Once I asked at the kyosho shop they told me that Greece has great customs formalities cost...concider that we also suffer from additional value tax wich is 19%...! Hey foxy how much would an RRR cost (finally when arrives to me) if I decide to get it from towerhobbies?

I thought Kyosho had bad part support? Thats why I recommended the ntc3 for racing on a budget. Every where you look theres parts, and the chassi is real adjustable.

Hmmmm,buddy maybe try this approach that i heard recently:-

ORIGINAL: jonnymac

The only thing I buy in this ripoff country is diff and shock oil and fuel these days.
If you check with the guy sending they will quite often label the package "toy car parts" and stick on a value that is less than the value that triggers the taxman into action, which I think is £30 ($60).
If they say no then I order from somewhere else!
Simple really [8D]

It's a great car man...go for a sirio not a novarossi...champions run the g4s with .12 sirio engines...if you can afford one of course.
