DONT WAST YOUR MONEY BUYING CHEAP!!!
If someone had told me that in the first place i would have saved my self a ton of money. ANYONE in this hobby can tell you that once you get a car, you want to get a bigger and badder one! So dont wast your money buying a bad car.
I recommend buying a nice kit and then buy a crappy engine that you mind screwing up while you learn how to drive and tune the engine.
my first car was a waste of a car in a traxxas nitro. sucked, pain in the azz, never ran right.
