To get an idea of what kind of car/truck you want check the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4307335/tm.htm]Choosing your first RC[/link] to find out what TYPE of RC you want, will help narrow it down a little for you and then you can get into specifics, when asking for help or just checking the actual forums for the type of RC you're looking for. Im also new, and thinking of starting with a Stadium truck.
good luck
