RE: $450 budget
i wouldnt get a nitro mini for a first
the crt .5 isnt a mini imo 1/12 seems closer to 1/10 than to 1/16 or 1/18
i hear it is great quality though
and that it is extremely fast with a .12 engine
for a nitro mini
i would get the kyosho mini inferno 09
great speed of 33mph clocked my rc car action
and its of high quality
and the sirio engine is too

The kyosho mini inferno 09 is a great buy.. For $450 why not get something a little bigger and "better"?
You could even get into 1/8 and blow the mini competition away[>:]

RE: $450 budget
I would recommend the Xray mini also (mine is the nt18mt rtr), i know that your budget is much larger than the $250 or so for the xray but man does this truck handle, and a blast to drive. i especially like how it starts with a starter box instead of the pull start (that have always broke on me from other trucks that i have had) it may be just me, and everyone has a diff view of what they like but i love the xray mini nitro better than my bigger trucks, scale wise it just seems faster (looks like it because its smaller) but anyway you may or may not like a bigger truck, it depends on what you are into, just wanted to share what i have had the most fun with. good luck with your choice.

One of the best deals out right now- http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/17279
This truck usually sells for around $600 (Tower hobbies sells it for $700) and you can get it for $280
