[waspspray]

I am new with rc cars I want to get my first car here are a few i am looking at the dura traxx overdrive st, the kyosho Gp ultima St sport RTR, the kyosho inferno MP-7.5 Sport RTR, The Hot bodies Lightning RR buggy RTR, and the traxxas Nitro rustler. What car do u think is the best for starting and why thanks a ton for your help.

any help would be awsome or if you have other ideas of cars I should get tell me please.

I want a gas offroad truck or buggy and under like 500 would be nice i guess 600 could be ok if was a awsome car Id like a RTR cause i have never done any of this before But If i had to build it that would be cool to cause then id prolly know how to fix it better thanks a ton guys

The first mistake you are making is wanting a gas. I tell this to all the people that are planning on getting into RC and want a nitro, then they come back later thanking me.

Go electric if this is your first real RC. Electrics can be/are just as good as nitro's. They are also less complicated, and less expensive. When one thing breaks with a nitro, sometimes you have to rip apart the enitre RC to fix the problem. A lot of people do not know how the basics of RCs work so they cant identify the problem resulting in major problems, then they just become $400-$600 dust collectors.

IImportSupra (Josh) was thinking about getting a gas car for his first, then I told him about it, and now he's going to stick with electric for his first.

I have raced both nitro and electric, the only difference I noticed is the cost, complexity, and noise. With my old T-Maxx I was having the cops called all the time because my truck was too noisy.

that is so true, except it was a really stupid thing that broke(the fuse on the charger, yes, the fuse)
and so i just stopped using my car, but then again i was 10-12 and didnt have a ride to get a new one but still retarded on my part.

I am 22 and i have money to buy parts to get stuff fixed but if you say no gas maybe i will go that way
