What would be better for 1st timer
Losi will be a little more for an RTR but mainly because of the computer radio. Either truck is very user friendly and has a ton of aftermarket parts. Only difference will be the RC10 also has bling bling parts and the Losi aftermarket parts are all just to make it lighter and faster. But I would definatley buy either one of them over any other stadium truck made. Just go check out a race and see who is winning and what they are driving.
