Tamiya XBG Any Good?

[Uncle Muzz]

Hello World!

I have decided for a change from my Tamiya RC Tanks and am considering the world of RC Racing.

I Have a Subaru impreza electric model but have taken a fancy to the Tamiya AMG Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM Team Vodafone (Part No:43510)

Is this a good model for a keen noob? ;D

I dont suppose anyone would be kind enough to point me to any reviews/pictures of the above model? (I did a search....honest guvnor!)

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Now the bad bit, can you please put your name on profile, as per rule 5? ;D

Now the good bit.

The TGS chassis (the chassis that comes with the XBG) is a good chassis, handles well, easy to rebuild. Engine starts easily too.

Here is a link to the Subaru XBG, same chassis as the Mercedes, different body wheels and tyres
