Hello all. Ive been wanting to get a RCCar for many years and am going to take the plunge. I was at my local hobby store the other day and they have a Traxxas Slash 2WD for $260 plus $50 for a battery and charger, so $310 plus tax. I wanted to know if this is a good buy for a beginner. Is this car upgradable allowing me to really dig into this as a hobby or is pretty much a cookie cutter car. I plan on using the car both on street and light dirt.

Iwould greatlly appreciate any advice that could be given.

If there is a car that anyone feels would be better for me in the $200-$300 range, I open for suggestions.
