Are these good cars?

[Ronz203]

So far they dont look like smarttechs but i learned that cheap and rc dont go good together. Are these worth buying? http://www.scootercrew.com/gas-nitro-rc.htm

I personally have never heard of them, but that doesn't mean they suck

IF you go cheap on the initial investment you usually spend double that in trying to make things work after a few tanks.....you really want to get into an RC that has a national support base....check your Local Hobby Shop and see what they carry as far as spare parts go....make your choice based on what tye of driving you want to do, adn what brands are supported locally......if you don't want to spend a lot of cash on a new nitro rig I'd suggest looking at the Associated RC18 series....they are about 160 bucks ready to run and you ca buy upgrades and replacement parts at most shops......and if you decide you really like the hobby then get into something a lil more advanced......nitro tuning is a hard aspect of the hobby to learn and it's frustrating to have a really cool looking new toy that jst causes headaches......

no. Another low end company trying to sell junk. In R/c the quote " you get what you pay for" really comes into effect. Best off paying a few bucks more and getting a nice name brand rig you can actually buy parts for.

Great advice. Stay with a name brand nationally supported name. I promise you, you will learn to hate this hobby if you start out with something cheap. Plaid among others here know what they are talking about and it is worth while to listen to what they have to say. Good luck and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask us, we are glad to help!

I'm not sure about their rc's but the gas skate boards look cool!

i went cheap for my first car {power racer fury). then found that all my replacement parts cost double and broke easyer. payed a few dollars more for a traxxas but spend alot less time repairing it or buying parts.

The old saying "You get what you pay for" comes to mind right about now.

First thought on my mind as well. Almost always true.

i would allways go for a known brand like hpi , tamiya ,traxxas,hot bodies
etc .
this means you would have no problems getting parts incase you crash or some thing goes wrong .
