traxxas nitro sport or the firestorm. those would probably be your best options. i wouldnt get the jato 3.3 b/c its very fast and will be very easy to crash. for your first nitro you dont want it to be that fast. stick with something in the 30-45mph range. the firestorm is supposed to be really tough. just dont rush everything and learn as much as you kan. there are alot of people on here that have tons of info and kan help with whatever you need.
