There seems to be lots of these miniature R/C cars about now.

Which one would you recommend?

It needs to be a Scooby replica obviously.

Well you could buy the Tamiya Electric RC cars from about
150 pounds + the controller+ battery = about 200 pounds total
for the scooby 4wd version or could get another model called the Hornet about 150 for a complete setup - try Bexely Models
in Bexley for more up to date info. Havent owend a RC car for year
so prices could be out of date.
BRW The cars need to be assembled!

Just make sure you get a better motor than the 1.0 that comes with the standard car.
