I'm wanting to get into the hobby and purchase my first nitro RC. I watched alot of videos and have an idea of the basics of what I want. I'm looking for a gas powered rc truck kit that I can build myself. Where is a good place to get a set like this or a good place to start?

If you need more information or have questions please let me know. I'm excited to get started.

If you want to settle for nitro, you might want to post this in a nitro-specific sub-forum: https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-...um-trucks-243/

I have been looking around all day and watching different videos and I'm kind of liking the company Traxxas. I see they have a truck called the Maxx which also has a bigger brother the X Maxx. I don't know a lot about the different parts but from what I see those look pretty damn decent. And I watched some videos of them being "bashed" I think is what you call it.

the other two that I found that I really like are...
1) the Arrma Kraton 8s. It looks really rigid however a downfall that I found was parts are really expensive if you break something. Or I guess when you break something not if LOL

2) Kyosho Mad Crusher also looks really nice and durable as well

but out of all of those I really like the Traxxas brand. What is everybody's thoughts on that?

​​​​​​​ and yes I know I went to battery operated. I didn't know much about the difference between the two other than one took a battery and one took gas. I think I liked the idea of a gas powered remote control car. But when it comes down to it I want something I can have fun with and it seemed the upkeep with Nitro was a lot more.
