Need advice regarding which RC to purchase
Hello,
I have been out of the RC world for along long time and am looking to get back into it. I am looking to purchase an RC electric buggy and would appreciate any advice regarding which RC to purchase. I have looked at Traxxas' and Team Associated's web pages and I am interested in some of their models.
Which RC car do you recommend?
Is there any one car that is superior in overall performace to another?
My goal is to start racing. I have no budget and would like to get the very best RC to start. Thank you in advance for your input.

Telling people you have no budget could get you into trouble around here ^_~
If you plan to race, I don't think the Traxxas is your best bet.
Are you interested in 2WD or 4WD buggy? Stock class? Mod? Vital information =)
If you're an Associated fan, your best bet is going to be the RC10B4FT (Factory Team). Electronics/batteries depend on race class and sanctioning body/club rules.

No budget is wonderful, thats how I enjoy RC 
The RC10B4FT is a very good buggy. I've also seen some Losi 8ights converted to BL power, which are pretty cool.

Get a B44 Factory Team pal, you wont be disappointed at all.
The car is tough as nails, like most people like.
Just make sure to read the manual and do exactly as it says.
Dont be like me and waste shock oil because you forgot to snap the clip in the barrel.

how can you say its tough as nails when the buggy just came out not to long ago, are you going by reputation?? well how about this the AE RC8 which is the new 1/8 scale buggy for AE. lets just say AE needs to go back to the drawing board for that one.. not saying the B44 is a bad buggy but you cant say its tough as nails, give it some time.
