What is a good first nitro-powered buggy kit?
Hello,
I'm new to R/C and am looking to purchase a kit to build one but am not interested in spending 500 dollars right now. I'm more interested in the $200-$300 range if possible.
I know most R/C snobs would probably laugh at that statement but starting out I just want something to learn on since I'm not sure if this is something I will take to the next level if you know what I mean.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Not experienced with building these things at all so would hopefully be something with instructions to guide me through the process.
Please advise!

not totally sure if I want electric or not...
I definitely would prefer to be able to play longer... and not have to wait on charging all the time.
I would much rather pay for fuel than spend a ton extra on the car itself. I'm not on a huge budget but if I could find something RTR Nitro that wasn't high maintenance it would be preferred.

If you don't want to wait for charging just leave enough in your budget to buy more than a couple batteries.

Clutches burn up, servos burn up, chassis wear out, tires are expensive dont last long, motors burn up, fuel burns up, bearings burn up ect.
On an electric you just drive and clean the body to make it look nice. Electric is a great way to start. Nitro is a lot of fun once you want to dedicate the money. Many pros are really into nitro but still practice electric to keep there skills sharp
