hey man heres a site to start with. www.Towerhobby.com

chaos_theory

thats a great site but I want to know good stuff to start out with I want a motor that I can put in that will be fast with good handleing and its forgiving so it doesnt break when I crash.

dakrat

oh boy! first of all, what do u want? a monster truck? a stadium truck? buggy? on-road? off-road? airplane? are u going to race it? or just bashing? pick your poison. all rc cars break. if they dont, rc companies gonna go bankrupt. how much is your budget?

chaos_theory

I want an electic onroad car but able to ride on rougher terrain I want a car and I understand that they all break but I want something with a little more strength because I just starting out im not going to race its just to drive around and have fun I also would an engine that can go at a moderate speed so it isnt always boaring and for budget I dont really now I just want quality componets to put my car together but lets say my total budget is 500 dollars canadian but thats just a number go over it if you want. but for the chassis it would be nice if it was in the 250 or under in canadian dollars thanks alot PEACE

chaos_theory

and I was looking for a 1/10th scale car

By rough terrain do you want it to go Off Road???

If you're just looking to stay on pavement, get a TC3 or TC4....

If you want to go off road either get a B4 Buggy or T4 Truck....

Chaos,
You want on-road , but rough terrain. You might want to try a rally car from HPI or Tamiya. Durable and cost effective.

dakrat

nitro or electric?

rally car?

greencactus3

yes rally car. hpi rally. if you want durable thats what you want. i have broken...... ummm nothing.. yet. and ive had it for a while and also bought it used.

chaos_theory

yeah that what I was thinking because the rally car could run on smooth pavment a little rougher and maybe a little dirt track if I came across one ok so an hpi rally chassis. but what would be soem good options for the 2-channel radio with receiver and servo, electronic speed control, .05 type electric motor, and a peak detection battery charger.

chaos_theory

and I want electric if that wasnt made clear

chaos_theory

I was looking at an hpi racing super rs4 I was wondering with this on rougher cement would I murder the bottom of the chassis and I see lots of kits with that requires paint does that mean you have to paint the lexan body? and does the super rs4 come painted already?

chaos_theory

for the rs4 are the componets bigger or are there regular sized componets in the larger chassis?
