Hi
Im looking to get a nitro,ive had planes and elevtric cars.I just want somthing to bash around the yard not racing it or anything.I saw the tower st 15 car looked decent for the money but then i saw that traxxas had one with push button start which also sounded cool.just looking for somthing thats durable and easy to use.I dont want to spend over 300.00 for a rtr,cheaper the better.
thanks

Cheaper = more expensive in the long run, a cheap car will break down and cost more, Go with a Jato 3.3. $400 RTR, maybe an Ofna Mutilator would be a good one too. I payed $549.99 for my first RC.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXPAC9&P=RF]This[/link] sounds like the truck for you.

I would have to say the GT2 also.

I have the Jato and i love it. But my favorite RC's are monster trucks! A Savage X SS or a GST 7.7 would be a good choice!

To bad all of those are over his $300 budget...

Ahh my bad i didn't see that. If you have a $300.00 budget i would look around and find a Savage SS 4.6, i bought mine for $300.00 assembled and ready to go.

OR if you can't find on or are impatient and don't want to wait the Savage 25 is an awesome truck. That was my first nitro. Very tough, fast and overall really fun. You can get some nice ones around 200 bucks!

Where do you guys buy from? who has the best deals. I see these red cat cars are real cheap are they any good?

thanks

Usually Towerhobbies, but check your LHS. (local hobby shop, support it!).

Theres also a few other big stores, like amainhobbies and horizon hobby. (all the ones i mentioned are online stores)

im thinking about these three wellmostly 2 as the firstorm and trex have headers and full baerings
DuraTrax Nitro Evader ST RTR
HPI Nitro Firestorm RTR
Traxxas Nitro Sport SE RTR w/Radio

any suggestions on which would be the better the duratrax has a bigger engine and the firstorm looks cooler but maybe im missing somthing
thanks

I WOULD RECOMMEND THE OFNA ULTRA LX COMP W MONSTER FUEL 25%
