cooldude.......it's always good to hear about a new person who is interested in nitro cars, trucks. etc.....A great place to learn more is www.nitroreview.com You can look at most all nitro kits on the market, as well as read the reviews on them.......another thing is you can read reviews from owners of these vehicles.....good or bad.......As for your question about your (good deal) it would help to know what you are looking at, and it's overall condition....even if it is new prices will vary fom dealer to dealer....let us know what it is you are looking into.............good luck in your new hobby
