Bro,
Serious RC, means lots of money involved.
A basic RTR (car and controller) electric model will cost u around S$300 (+/-)
A basic wall charger & battery, will cost u around S$100 (+/-)
Therefore they're not cheap (radio control r/c)....
And that's why they are not called children's remote control...

bought my first TT01D from Winnie's aka Swan Model at Orchard Plaza.

alternatively, u can try Street Revolutions at Woodlands Vista Point.

Ok lah, not expensive compared to 1/16 Tanks!! I bought my charger nearly at $300. Had already spend a few "K"s on my main hobby!!

I believe most guys here play RC flying right? Try Rotor Hobby. They brought in Thundertiger cars for drifting and touring too.

Trust me, is the cheapest Ready to Run package ever found in the market with all the important stuff included. I must stress the sentence out, important!

I bought my first & only nitro car from rctech.net forum. Now still actively playing it. Cheaper this way since I not fully into RC cars. Just play play.....

Playing RC Car takes lot of time & $$..... just as much or more than flying RC heli....

Oh, sorry to hear that.

Thundertiger recently come out with a brand new 1/10 EP chassis call "Sparrowhawk VX" for touring and "Sparrowhawk DX" for drifting. Well, i don't know about GP price but definitely the EP chassis are the cheapest.
