Hey there V . Well i got my tundertiger nitro Ducat999R ready to run for about $339. Thats the ball park price for them. Nitro bikes are really fun.They are also pretty fast to. It helps to find a hugh parking lot when first learning so youll have lots of room turn them . As you get better you will be able to use a smaller area to run it.They use a rotostart syatem which is really nice but somethings to watch out for with these bikes are that they can get flooded and then hydro lock the piston ,that locks up the rotostart. you then need to back off on the glow plug and turn over the starter shaft by hand a few timeswith bike upside down to clear the fuel out .On a new engine it is helpfull to back off on the glowplug just abit that help lower the compressionand makes it easier to crank over the engine then tighten it up once its running.once you break in the motor and get used to a few things they really start with one crank and run great to.Some people upgrade the tires,servo and brakes/ you can add front brakes . I havent done these things yet and you dont really have to . The bike goes pretty nice just stock.You can get an electric version to which is probaby easier to deal with but i like the sound of these nitros and the exhaust comming out of the upsweept pipes is so cool.Overall ,its alot of fun and gets better as you go ..

Few other things to add,The nitro bikes like mine go about 35- to 40 or better from the looks of it . They are just as fun tooling around at 20 though.The glow starter plugs onto a remote unit mounted in the handle bar area.You need to move the rider out of the way by sliding one of the arms off the handlbar then move him out of the way .On breakin in i would leave the rider off for awhile. also the starter system i used was a 12 volt hobby battery with an airplane starter/with the rubber cone tip.They make a starter shaft that fits the bike and plugs into the rubber cone on the starter. Its a good strong system to use.A roto start shaft from a savage wont fit right.Although it fuel tank is kinda small the bike can be driven about 10-15 min on a tank . the .12engine doesnt use much fuel . I use 20% blend.If you get a bike and need any help just ask ok.There are lots of people ready to help you out. Good luck..
