Ok.....well...umm.....i never owned a radio controled nitro truck and im thinking of purchasing one so i just wanted to know what would be a good --->AFFORDABLE!!!!<--- nitro truck to start with...i really want a nitro rustler but it out of my budget and skill...so any suggestions??

Have you owned any electric R/C's?? If not I would start there, at least in my opinion. I got an Electric Evader that I am still learning about, like how to drive and how to replace broken parts. I couldnt have gotten a nitro b/c of the noise and I wanted to start off with an electric.

well ya i hav a nikko truck but its not radio control

maybe i can get a electric rustler and still get it like rpm and proline stuff

U should get nitro but u just said that the Nitro Rustler is out of your budget??? this is about the cheapest nitro out there around there........ u might find one for mabey 20$ less but thats the price range for a nitro

My first hobby grade rc is an electric rustler which is sitting under the christmas tree. Anywho, I saw how much good feedback that the electric rustler got and how much duribility traxxas claims it has so thats why i chose it. Ive have some experience driving but never fixing or tuning so that's why I turned to electric. On my nikko truck I couldnt even find out how to take the body off. I still dont but I dont think you are supposed to take the body off. ANWAYZ, I would go with a stadium truck because you can use them to race when you need to and I j*think* that they make for some good bashers. Your choice depends on some things. Do you plan on racing or just bashing. If you want to race then maybe a rustler isnt the choice for you. I heard that there are better choices for a car if you are looking for racing. I guess that you want a off-road car so thats what I based this post on.

How 'bout the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVH99**&P=0]ST-15[/link] its alot cheaper than the ruslter.

Theirs also the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJH00**&P=0]Nitro Sport[/link] which is $50 cheaper than the rustler.

i found a kyosho gp ultima st on ebay its $150 off road and nitro i might get that

id show you pics but i dont no how to post them

What is your budget limit anyway, dont forget you also need batteries, glowstarter, gas and a few other things to get the car running.
Good Luck

ummm maybe like 200 heh heh... and im not really worried bout fuel i can get those for free

what kind do you get???

get wut?

Fuel, what kind can you get for free.

If youre thinking you can just put unleaded gasoline in a nitro car, then you got another thing coming. Nitro cars run off special model fuel (glow fuel) which is a about $15 a gallon.

my friends older bro own a hobby shop so i can get blue thunder or traxxas top fuel for half off so lik prob blue thunder 20%

and he said hed giv me a free gallon of fuel for free wen i get my first nitro

so why dont you get a deal on a car then?

cause cars r expensive he only gives me deals on stuff lik under 50 bux lik acceseries not a actual car

so wut would be better a truck or a buggy

a truck!...buggy's r s*it!.... off road!... get like an evader st!... or a rustler or stampede!...

ya im not really a big fan of buggies but then i saw it jump a garage

is the Tower Hobbies Tower Nitro ST-15 any good though??

i really like this car http://www.duratrax.com/cars/dtxd52.html its on road but its pretty fast

how can you find out wich radio frequency works for you??

well!..if ur jus gonna bash! around!.... who care about freq's!...if ur racing the hobby shop or the people running the track will tell u what u need!!!
