    Are you saying €70 for a full kit or just for a rolling chassis and add the electrics after ?:confused:

    Starting "cheap" nitro car engines is not easy, actually very difficult, and a long way beyond most beginners ability.

    It is unfortunate, but true, that the less knowledge and expertise you have, the better and higher standard gear you need, if you are to be able to use it. :)

    Yeah, "cheap" and "good" are normally mutually exclusive terms.:p

    And another thing, $180 will be €180 (not €130) by the time you have it in your hands.;)
