Default looking for beginner recommendation

so i was looking to start with this hobby i'm kinda new i have built a nitro car a long time ago i don't know 1994 or so looking now for a electric car/truck to start out with again

looking for something for my backyard all grass maybe some dirt and also will use this in snow in the winter so i'm probably looking for a 4x4

also if i have to build it that's fine but don't matter either way whatever just not sure where to start atm

as for price i mean i mean i really wanted to keep it under 500 but depends how much better it is than what is cheaper i like the bang for my buck ya know lol even if it puts me a little higher in cost thank you all so much

look towards TRAXXAS the SLASH is the most popular model at my track.2wd and 4x4.thats what everyone starts out with,,skip the package deal with a charger and battery...get aftermarket from amazon..
myself started with a team associated Pro sc10 skipped the deal and bought aftermarket lipos and charger..
have a Sc10b-RS also...and lookin at a LOSI 4x4..

If you are wanting a RTR, one word...ARRMA. But skip the brushed platforms.
