Check out Tower Hobbies. They are the one-stop online hobby shop.


Unless you want Losi. Or Kyosho. They don't carry those two brands.[]

there are many that would fit that description.

the 2 that come to my mind are a traxxas jato 3.3. its fast and there are upgrades made my traxxas, RPM and others.
HPI has a fast 2wd nitro stadium(dont recall the model name)

RC10GT2, HPI Nitro RS4 MT2(It's the only 4WD in the segment worth having!), maybe a nitro Rustler if you're willing to disregard the break-in procedure in the manual and go with a different one.

Fast is why I wouldn't advise one to buy a Jato. They are horrible off-road and they are neigh uncontrollable when they're wrung out. If you're looking for a 70MPH RC I advise either an on-road or an airplane.

the hpi firestorm is a brilliant car, definitely recommended as a 'sort of' starter car. incredibly tough for its size and the engine lasts forever. and a few companies make all of the upgrades you will ever need

Looking at the jato 3.3 seems like a good pick what do you all think?
