RE: Need Help. . New to rc hobby.
This is just about the best thing that you can get in that budget. Bear in mind you will need batteries and a charger as well...it will allow you to do light off road use and of course it will run great in the street. This is a very fast car, I think you'll be very pleased. Ask about the cheapest available 'lipo' batteries and chargers, as the older technology 'nimh' batteries will not give you as good speed or runtime as 'lipo'. A decent lipo battery will run this car at about 40mph for a good 20 minutes. Your mileage may vary of course.

I wouldn't... 1/18th is very small, it will fit in the palm of your hand and you will be very limited where you can run it. The other car I suggested will be stronger, faster, bigger, more versatile, better in every way.
The Ansmann brand is a German company which orders their models from China, just like all manufacturers these days, where Ansmann adds good value is in speccing good electronics and doing QA testing on the models before final boxing.
******** are not known for good quality cars. I still recommend the Ansmann.

what does that translate into in US dollars? That seems like an awsome price for a 2.4ghz/brushless buggy. Tho it didnt have pics of the chassis it looks like a simple and effective layout

109 sterling = $172
By the way, the W5 radio and the stock servo are also uncommonly good for RTR equipment.
