Hi all,

Im new to RC car. Planning to get a new one, so any introduction?

I looking those cheaper ones so that it wont hurt so much if i crash on my first run.

Just dont want to get cheated by vendor. Thanks to all seniors in RC.

If you can narrow down what kind of car you want, i.e. for what surface (dirt? tarmac?) and what use (racing or bashing) and a more exact price range, it will help others help you narrow it down.

Traxxas would be a good starting point. Their products are durable, relatively cheap, and have good parts support. Start with a 2wd brushed model so you won't have to spend too much right off the bat. But if you are on a even tighter budget, ECX has pretty good beginner models from what I've heard.

traxxas is a realy good start part are easy to come by...brushed would be the way to go for some just getting into.

im bran new to rc myself, and it is alot more work then i realized, always keeping up the maintenance and what not. but i love doing mechanically work. i would deff go with a cheaper version to start off with. i got a redcat racing volcano monster truck and a redcat 350z drift car. they were $169 each and im happy.

i strongly suggest talking to rc-tradingpost.com
i was amazed at there customer service and patience with me, and eagerness to help resolve any problem. where as a few other places i emailed i was lucky to get a reply. they also have all parts in stock ready to ship. (everything i need so far anyway)

Drifting look into a hpi I hear they are pretty good and have good parts supply.

I would buy a used associated TC3 or TC4 for drifiting. There are plenty of parts for them and you can pick up a roller (No electronics or motor) for around $50.00. My friend has a TC3 drift car and it works great. He even made his own plastic tires by cutting PVC pipe and gluing them on. Works great!
