I just new to the nitro scene and was wondering what would be a good starter car. I will be running in mostly loose dirt, and in sand. Electric or nitro, doesn't really matter to me. I m looking to get a 1/10 or 1/8 and am looking to spend no more than $350. What would be a good ready to run car that would fit where i would drive it. Ive been told that the maxxas slash 4x4 would be good, but i was leaning a little more towards a buggy, truggy, or possibly a monster truck. Let me know what you guys think..\
