For the price start off with a Hot Bodies D8 and some good gear like hi tec or jr servos, good 2.4 radio(nothin real fancy), and a alpha engine/pipe. This all should get you runnin for around 700 which is way cheaper than buying a more exspensive kit and the d8 is perfectly capable of hangin with them!
+1... but if your new to nitro, Alpha engine wont be a good one to start with, they are a pain to break in and real touchy on the tune.... also look at the O'donnell SG buggy, its a little more than HotBodies but needs ZERO upgrades. but either one is a great buggy. i run both buggy and truggy and i started with a buggy because they are cheaper AND they teach you how to drive and if you end up going to truggy later you will be ALOT faster than starting with truggy.
