nitro if youre willing to spend the time for maintenance and money on fuel, electric for lower maintenance and costs less

personally, i like buggies more because they have a more fast looking shape

and brand...Team losi, associated, kyosho, hpi, or traxxas

I'd say go with the HPI Savage X 4.6 Ready Kit. It should release anyday. I own a HPI Savage X and boy its a MONSTER. You wont regret it.

Thanks guys, I have alredy had a traxxas bandit and loved it, but I destroyed most of the gears within a week. My mom not knowing better thought since it didnt work just throw all 400$ worth of stuff away, including battery and 15 minute charger. Anyway, I found a Awsome deal on ebay for a Rustler. If I get it I will try to upgrade it the most I can. Get used to bigger scale cars, then maybe go to nitro.

If you want to go nitro offroad try a T-maxx or Revo. I have had both of em. And absolutly love em. I wouldnt suggest a stampede though. Those are 2 wheel drive. A rustler is a good starter though.

REVO< REVO<REVO<REVO

Lol but i dont sugest it because if you dont know how to tune nitros or have experince, i believe your last sentnce before you throw it out of a plane, will be something like "mother***** son of a ***** ***** what the ***** is your problem, stupid pice of ****."

yOU COULD TRY A SAVAGE I have one. Low maintenanace, good tuning and almost fully ready to run.

Well, for some reason the Rustler just stopped working, I didnt want to fix it.

So I wehnt back and gpt a Team LosiMini-T, And Pocketed some cash for bill.

This truck is awsome except one thing, It goes the the 4 AA's like nothing.( I am using Rayvocs 1800mah rechargables) I wanted to get the Lithiums and charger but the didnt have them. If anyone can get me them I would be willing to trade or buy them from you.

Pics Up in a minute.
