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.

Chris RC, some of the statements you mentioned aren't totally true and just because he is a beginner doesn't mean he should get an electric.
The models you listed lack quality and I think your wouldn't be very happy with them. Look at most of the models on this page, and you should be ready to go: [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=CBF]Click Here[/link], [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=CBE]Then here![/link] Are you looking for a setting scale (1/10, 1/8, 1/16) or a certain kind of vehicle (truck, car, buggy)? I would give a little more advise if I had some more info. |
RE: Nitro RC Help for a newbie
First of all thanks for your feedback. Srry for not giving you so much info. So, I know that the three models i mentioned lack quality but they are cheap and thats what I want since I am a beginner, I want to experiment with nitro engines and learn how to work with these type of engines. Its not worth it to buy a good quality truck and break it. I want to have some fun with and learn how to handle it because then I would go for the nitro cars but they need more care then nitro Trucks thats why I am starting of with the truck. Although I ve choose those three at least I want the best of them i.e. 'strong, reliable, best engine and fast', and also one that I will find parts for it because I now that I will break something for sure :P. Hope that I ve explained my self better for what I really want. Thanks for your help.

RE: Nitro RC Help for a newbie
I under stand your taking your time and trying to figure out if you are going to like this hobby or not, which is a good reason to go cheap, but I would check my links as there are trucks in there that are cheaper and the same amount of money as the items you listed.
I am only trying to help you get something that will last (you being new and all). Take a look at these models, they would be great for a beginner: [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXPAC9&P=0]Associated GT2[/link], [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXPVD8&P=0]HPI Firestorm[/link] These two are under $300 (you can get a Firestorm for [link=http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=HPI10510!1007]$230[/link]) and parts will be easy to come buy (these trucks are tough!) [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=844]Great Article[/link] There are also many other great trucks out there (every body likes different stuff), but one last warning: I would stay away from RedCat, Himoto, and Exceed. Good Luck |

Good Luck Hyper 7 TQ Black for $289 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXRUS1&P=ML Jammin x1x RTR for $340 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-4WD-RTR-Buggy Ofna Picco RTR $280 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...Off-Road-Buggy for low priced high quality RC's only issue with the ofnas is there sterring servos suck but for under $30 you can get a good quality Steel gear servo(but most RTRS need new servos anyways so no big issue) Problem with the cheap ones are the parts quality is low and they break fast. A good engine is easier(the jammin X1 has a very good engine for RTR, and easy to tune) to break in and work with than a cheap ones |
RE: Nitro RC Help for a newbie
Those are the only 3 brands I would say to NOT get. Try the HPI Firestorm, or an Asssociated MGT3.0, or an Ofna Hyper 7, or Ofna Picco
