If you want to start with a RTR I suggest you go to probably one of the most trusted dealers in the USA and that is ---
Home - IMEX Model
This is a Taigen Dealer based in Florida and the RC Tanks section of IMEX is in the very capable hands of ERIK he is as straight as an arrow and you can e-mail him any time with any questions,

I agree with the above. I would start with a pretty good tank to begin with. Taigen Sherman in my opinion is a excellent choice full metal chassis and has been trouble free on 20 battery packs so far. Also Taigen has support here in the US and parts are reasonable, also Erik is helpful and has you tube videos on how to repair and make modifications to the tanks like how to update to a Clark board if you decide to in the future.
I would check ebay for a used one like this:
