Hugo,
being a newbie myself, I just started the hobby with a Hyper 7 PBS RTR. I would strongly recommend not getting an RTR. Sure, it's a good price, but you get what you pay for, and the included radio, servos, and starter box are all crap. The car is awesome though, and it is pretty forgiving for us newbies as well. Get a kit, have a friend help you build it. The experience will do nothing but help you in the future. Buy some good servos (I love the Hitec 645MG's) and maybe a decent FM transmitter.
Make sure you invest in a fail-safe, digital temp. gauge, 6.0v rx pack and charger, and some heavier-than-stock shock oil. Some ARO is a neccesity as well.
You can find a good deal on Ebay, I got my RTR for $360 US, but the kit may be a little cheaper. (I got a good deal though) This is a money pit of a hobby, but I have already learned to get good stuff, coz if you don't you'll keep breaking what you got.
Good Luck!!
