total noob here to the RC world.
my story is my 11yr old son came home wanting an RC car as his friends had £650 ones
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
anyways, following a post on Vzi I got offered the B3, knowing nothing of them I was offered the buggy, charger, 2 batteries and the controller for £50 all in.
seems we got a pretty good deal. I called at my local model shop and got talking to the lad there, he's an ex RC racer and gave the buggy a little TLC, cleaned the motor, got it running again properly, re soldered some joins and tubed up the aerial, all for free
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
we've had it out three times now, first on grass, batteries lasted 5mins each, second time on some local sand dune/jumps and got roughly 8-10 mins each battery then the last time solely on tarmac and got over 10 mins per battery.
ive got loads of questions but if you're like me I love looking at pics of anything cool so i'll stick some pics up and ask questions later.
thanks
