well first thing to consider is what type of terrain your gonna be running on and what your gonna be doin with it....are you gonna be bashing or racing....are you gonna be on hard packed dirt and pavement or are you gonna be on a lot of rough terrain and high grass...the next question would be what is your budget....

 

[05coupedriver]

it will be racing and on pavement looking to spend no more then like $275

For that budget you're not going to be getting much considering most on road cars cost around 200 that are electric and around 300 if you want nitro. You also have to take in considering you'll need support equipment like a charger, batteries, fuel if nitro and so on. I think 275 is on the light side of the spectrum and 400 would be an ideal budget. Not trying to scare you away but that's what you're getting into.

IMO $400 is still on the light side. A decent charger and a couple decent lipo batteries will run you close to that without even buying a rig yet!! Not tryin to scare you either but when I got back into it this past year and started over from scratch I invested $900 ish between my truck, tools, tuning equipment, charger, fuel, etc... I dont think the electric route would be to much cheaper either as I have 3 batteries that ran me close to $300 just for them. IMO - keep saving!
