There are many great nitro beginner cars out there.
HPI makes the popular monster truck
Savage 25 and the smaller stadium truck
Nitro MT 2.
Traxxas also has some good choices, for exaple the
T-MAXX,
Nitro Stampede and the
Nitro Rustler. If youre more into the buggies,
OFNA makes a great low budget car; the
Ultra MBX Pro RTR. I personally dont like the budget cars from
Kyosho, but I guess the
Inferno TR-15 and the different
TR-15 stadium trucks they have are ok. I also heard good things about
Team Associated and
Team Losi. Use TowerHobbies or your local hobby shop for price comparision.
Good luck choosing
