Default Looking to get into off road buggy racing.

I am looking into getting a electric RC buggy, buy i do not know what brand, or type to get.

It would be gret if somone could give me a brand, type, and price of a good, beginer buggy that will last me for quite a while.

My price range is about $150-$300.

Thanks in advance for posting!

first off....welcome to the hobby...u r going to love it...
Q is....r u looking for a buggy or a truck????
if u r looking for a buggy that is rtr i would recommend the associated b4.1 and if u r looking for a truck which i would recommend if u r just starting that would b the t4.1..... the reason i say these vehicles r they already come brushless and have 2.4ghz radios from the start and can b easily upgraded. the buggy i believe starts around $250ish and the truck starts around $260ish ( dont quote me on this) but still for what u get it is well worth the price for a proven race winner.... just my opinion tho...hope this helps a lil

I suggest going to the local track a few times to see what the locals are running. There are a lot of good buggies out right now.
