RE: need advice
Everyone is different...
Hello and welcome to rcu and rc.
Savage is pretty beast. You really cant go wrong with it. Its a monster truck that can take a beating.
Team associated has the t4 and the b4 which are cool.
Losi has the 22 buggy and the 8ight which are legit.
Tamiyas whole line up is sick.
Pick one and have fun.
Tower Hobbies is generally the go to site. The toyz is pretty good for hopups. Hobby King is good for chargers, batteries and motors. Hobby partz as well. There are tons of good websites that I didnt mention.
Take your time picking. Kits dont come with anything but a rolling chassis unless it says otherwise. Rtr's are cool but youll end up replacing the electronics anyways.
Hope I helped.
Matt
