Don't rule out Nitro. Nitro is super fun and if you have any mechanical aptitude its a great way to fill time. They do require a bit more maintenance and knowledge about tuning and such but its a completely different experience to have a real engine running than a just a beeping speed controller and gear hum. You can get an inexpensive Nitro for $179 on Ebay, A RedCat Lightning STR or HSP 1/10 scale onroad is good. Message me with any questions. I'm here to help.
