Hi, I'm ready to get into nitro R/C cars, but I am a total newbie...and I'm hoping to get some advice.
First of all, I want to buy something that is RTR or needs very little work since I am totally new to the hobby. I want to spend no more than $500 for everything I need, and get the best possible car I can for the money.
Next...I'm not exactly sure what type of vehicle I want. I will be primarily be using it to tear around in the yard, maybe do some light jumping, and occasionally run on the asphalt, etc.
I'm kind of a speed junkie, so I definately want something that has a lot of acceleration and top end, that is pretty important to me. I also want something that is very durable that I don't have to constantly fix.
I almost just ordered a T-Maxx, but after looking at some info online, I see a lot of people having trouble with breaking parts on these trucks. Also...after thinking about what I want to do, a monster truck may not be the solution. Do you think a stadium truck or buggy sounds like that would fit me better than a monster truck?
I have never run a nitro R/C...so I'm hoping you guys can kind of point me in the direction you think I would be happiest with. I really have no preference on whether I end up with a monster truck, or a stadium truck or buggy. Thanks a lot!
