New to nitro need some advice
Hey guys just found out that there is an outdoor track near me and I want to start running nitro 1:10 scale touring cars. I want to buy a RTR kit, I dont want to end up spending over $1000 on a car buying parts separetly. (car kit/ engine/ servos/ etc) So I need some advice, which RTR kit would you guys buy. I want something most people run competition wise. I want a rtr kit where it puts me on a good platform, starting off. I dont want a cruddy kit and then end up having to buy some other car later on.

wow pretty impressed! I just want to see what other people think before I buy one.

Does anyone know if the RTR kit comes with treaded shocks? Anything aluminum? Also I am dying to see some up close pics of this RTR Kit so that I know what I will be getting. If anyone has some pics up close please post. Thanks

G4S RTR is the BEST bet

Better look at what your local hobby shop carries in parts for the car or plan on stocking up on parts for whatever car you end up getting. If you have to buy a kit and pipe and motor, it might be better in the long to get something that the hobby store carries parts for. Not fun next day airing parts so you can runn on the next race day. My 2 cents.

I would have to say just on the parts support side that the Asc Nitro tc3 is a good bet, its competetive but requires alot of matinence to stay that way. But as with all the ready to runs , nothin beats a full blown race car!

My advise is to go to the track on a race day and ask a lot of questions.

nitro help
my 2 cents
the team magic is a awesome car, but are you new to nitro or new to rc racing? if you are new to the sport all together i would go with something more simple, like a NTC3, dependable car and easy to work on , not nearly as many suspension adjustments. Alot easier to get to handle well, However if you are not new to rc the belt drive cars are extremely fast.

Buying an RTR is not the best way to get into racing. Especially if your expeirenced in electric RC's. As a rule the best cars aren't available RTR. The G4S is the exception, but who is distributing it now (Not trinity) For my money there is only three choices and they dont come RTR. serpent, mugen, xray. The associated car is dead.
