Default RE: Nitro RC Help for a newbie

1st off, you like the more expensive "cheaper" brand of cars. For $350 one was, you can get a nice electric. Do you know all the costs of nitro? gas, $20 a gallon. air filter oil every couple of runs, After run ooil every run. You will spend more time cleaning it and maintaing it then driving it. I would look at some good electric vehicles cause you are a beginner. Look at the T4 and B4 RS, Tamiya Keen Hawk or Dark impact(kit so you will have to build a put motor/electroics but should come out to the same price) or the Losi XXX-T Sport RTR II, or Rustler XL-5 or VXL. look at those cars, and learn how to use the link[u] button and your good.
