Since you are only driving for sport, it should be better to get electrics. That choice is entirely up to you though. I drive around an electric AE RC10B4 buggy. It is not troublesome at all. My older brother takes it to the track to drive for fun or to race many times and it is great. I recommend that buggy to purchase. It is "cool-looking" and is great for sport driving and racing (if you ever want to).
