help my car purchase
ive been looking into getting a nitro car lately, and im having a tough time deciding which to go with. i dont want something too expensive (would like to stay under $250-$300), as i have other cars that i am also working on right now and would like to be able to play around with all of them, depending on what scale and type of rc im in the mood for at the time 
. anyway, ive been mainly into electric rc as of late and i would like to get back into nitro again. i seem to like the idea of nitro rally cars, i keep finding myself going back to look at the cen nitro rally cars, but i am very open to suggestions. what are some other companies that make good nitro rally cars?

I have the traxxas 4-tec and it runs 60mph+ right out of the box. It has the electric start and the traxxas 2.5 engine. Its around $300 but definetly worth it. I got mine from r/c hobbies and more in Winsted, Ct (860) 738-7534. They have a large inventory so im pretty sure they'll have it, or any other car you decide to get.I got mine there and got a pretty good deal deal for it, and they shipped it to me too! Good luck!

The NTC3 is the best in IMO. Makes a good basher or racer. Lots of hop ups available. Parts are not expensive and can be found at almost every hobbyshop. Shaft driven. The list goes on and on...
