What should I get?

I am trying to decide whether to buy an X-mods r/c or a Jada Toys R/c, and i dont have enough for whatever else you say is better. Please let me know what you think i should get between the two of them.

dude dont get niether save your money and get a losi xxx-s i have one and i highly recomend it its a real r/c car not a toy

yeah i woulkd agree with saving your money, but if you really have no choice, either find a used car from a friend you can buy, but between those two, if you want to modify it, dont get the jada toys thing, radioshack is very expensive when you mod the xmods though, i would get a mini-z if you want a smaller car, if bigger, probably save up for a tc3, hpi sprint, or of course like turbo type-r said the xxx-s, the jada toys are just about as fast as the average 20 car you can buy from toys r us that are the same size, they're just more expensive because they look sPeCIaL

Neither on of the RC's you suggested are quality.

Look around for some better cars. HPI cars are great quality, so are Team Losi and Schumacher. Go to your hobby shop and look around.
