What new car should I get?

[bubbadee5]

Hello I'm looking for a new nitro car and need some recommendations. I have previously owned a cheap exceed 1/10 buggy and am looking to get another nitro car that doesn't break every 5 minutes. I am looking for something that isn't over $300 but is reliable. Please include a brief description of why you recommend that car. Thank you and any replies are welcome.

For $300 and nitro ull be going second hand.... For anything decent.... U might get closer to what you want if you get a 1/16 e-revo. Awesome little electric cars. I have a 1/10 revo now and I'm planning on getting a 1/16 e-revo next unless I find a cheap deal on a 1/10 e-revo.

If you are really set on getting a new nitro rig, I'd say save up a bit more. Most of the larger brands such as Losi, Traxxas, Associated and HPI are all good quality. My first nitro rig was a Traxxas Revo and I never really have had a really major failure on it.

That seems decent. Altho from little I know of that brand I thought there stuff was way more expensive than that. Like started at 600$....

They have been great to me. Answered all my questions and got my stuff shipped on time. I just recently started ordering from them but so far A+ from me. They also have coupon codes. I saved $25 on my order. Someone here gave me the code but they can be found online. I'm a noob so others will give you more seasoned opinions.

The firestorm is a very good truck with great parts support. A friend of mine has one and has treated him pretty well. Also look at towerhobbies.com because they have good deals as well.

Thank you for the info about the firestorm and towerhobbies. I am leaning towards the hpi because I like the truck look better than the buggies.
