you will buy a kit that comes with everything to build your vehicle as a roller. A roller is the vehicle minus the nitro engine, radio, servos, and receiver battery. The kit will come with a manual that tells you how to build your roller step by step. Then it’s up to you to decide which nitro engine you want to run. Which radio you want to use and which servos you want to get.

if you’re looking for something a little bit cheaper, Losi seems to be the only one offering a nitro powered vehicle that is RTR or Ready To Run. The RTR vehicles come already assembled with a nitro engine, radio, and servos. There used to be a lot more choices as far as brands and vehicles that are nitro powered. With the introduction of lipo batteries and brushless motors electric is now the go to power source and far more popular. Nitro is basically around for the racers and hard core enthusiasts who enjoy the nitro engine aspect of it. That’s why as far as nitro goes, you mostly only see the more expensive kits centered around racing. If you’re going to get into nitro it really is worth it to get good equipment from the start. Losi is a good brand and their RTR 8ight vehicles are a good place to start.

Electric is definitely easier than nitro. You just charge the batteries and go. To me, and a lot of others, nitro is more fun. You don’t get the sound and smell of burning nitro fuel when running an electric vehicle. It is also very rewarding when you get a good tune on your nitro engine and your vehicle is just ripping around and it’s because of the setup/tune that you have. I also like to run electric. You can run an electric vehicle more places because it is silent and doesn’t draw attention or bother anyone. Nitro vehicles are more of a “Motorsport” because you are actually running/ tuning a real engine.

I would go Hobao for a RTR nitro buggy. Or maybe Sworkz or Hong Nor if they sell their RTR where you live.

The Kyosho MP9 TKI4 hand down

I saw it at our local track, and after a few setup changes it was keeping up with the 8ight-X, AE, Serpent with no problems. Eventually I would upgrade the servos and radio.
I know it defeats the purpose of building a kit, but if you are really looking into building a race kit then you will have to purchase all the components separately.

After I built my nitro buggy I had the itch to build another kit but didn’t wanna drop that kinda cash again. I opted for a tamiya on road tt-02 kit. It was fun to build and I think it was only about $120 for kit with motor, and esc. All I had to add was servo, esc, paint and battery. Again it’s all about what your looking for and what your budget allows. It’s not race quality but I think those kits are great for beginners, just to see if you like it before you drop a lot of money on a nitro race kit
