sigh, I don't think that you are understanding what I'm saying. It's not always a matter of whether or not you have a challenge driving or if you have the initial money to purchase the vehicle. Nitro is about maintinence, tuning and responsibility. It's not that I'm trying to say nitro is bad it's just more work. I'll tell you right now that without a doubt in my mind you'll be working on it more than driving it.
The next thing that plays a role is funding. You may have enough for a truck but what about fuel, after run oil, battery for starter, charger for starter, extra glow plugs, fuel bottle, etc. It's all small but it does add up.
If you want have at it but don't be surprised when it sits in the garage because you can't start it or because you don't have the money to replace half the truck when you smack a curb at 50.
Oh well I guess I'm the only one on here that thinks you aren't ready for it.
