Best car to start out racin?
I live near a hobby shop and to be in the novice class you have to have a car with all the original things on it like original motor, original battery, and so on and I am looking to buy a car that I can race in that class with for a while, but then upgrade everything to go faster and to upgrade to a better class. Which kind of car wold be best to buy that is fast but doesn't push the limits to be in the novice class. I am looking toward $200 to $300 dollars. If anyone can help with this decision it would be helpful. Thanx

RE: Best car to start out racin?
Most rtrs should be fine fine but there are some that are better then others. My picks would be either the XXX-S or TC 3. You can also buy a kit like a tamiya tb-02 or hpi rs4 but that will cost you more money. If your gonna be racing i would say go with the XXX-s and upgrade it later you get a good radio with it and the single belt drivetrain is easy to maintain. Plus there are tons of upgrades for it. But you should also consider what your local hobby shop sells the most parts for because you don't want to be waiting to get spare parts especially if you planon racing.

I want an on-road. And the race is where you can't uprade the engine or else you would have to go on a better division of racing.
