RE: Help with beginner (somewhat)
Yep electric has its benefits so does nitro. I own both now but have yet to run my nitro. My mighty bull electric does awesome for a 2wd truck. Playing in the snow today was fun. I just need to get my starter for my nitro so i can try it out in the snow. Batteries are killers to either trucks. Fail safe are a must on trucks and i wish mine had them. No fun when your radio dies and your truck goes on its own warpath and you have no control over it. 1st timer i would say go for a electric truck. Most of them are cheaper and have alot of hopups. Brushless is the new thing so i would buy one of those. Motor last longer and run faster. Tamiya,traxxas,hpi,losi are great brands of trucks and have alot of hopups for most of there trucks. Really depends on your taste of trucks. I love monster trucks as they are big an can be fast. They also go pretty much where you want them too. Just my 2 cents.
