Hello everyone. My dad has a Traxxas electric R/C car and I have been playing with it lately and fell in love. I have a crappy walmart brand one that I got in a secret santa and it just isnt doing it for me. So I like fast and it has to drive on any terrain. Also durable. What are suggestions for a new guy. Nitro or electric? Also what exactly is Nitro? Is it like a gas powered but takes a certain type of gas? Which is easier to work on and clean. I also know they run like $500 and then some for most RTR cars. Well, I have a son and bills so I dont exactly have $500 to buy one. Although if I did best believe I would have one. lol What would be best for a cheaper one. I have looked on ebay and saw some running for $100 to $200 in auction starting off. I would like a 1/8th scale r/c car. I believe my dads is 1/8th and I like the size. Any suggestions are great! Or if someone has a used one that they would be willing to sell for cheap let me know. Even if it is just the, correct me if I am wrong, chassis, wheels, and body, I can always buy a motor separate. I think I prefer the electric, but hey you never know. Sorry for the long post I am just new to this and anything helps.
