I would definitely get a 2wd instead of 4x4 to start out. But like said above it depends on situation.


I would change a few things on the list though...
Kit: I would say Tekno SCT410 over SCTE...$370 for kit!
Motor/esc: I would say Hw 4000kv or 4700kv SCT Pro Combo for a budget friendly, but good setup. $200
Battery: SMC 7200mah 70C batteries...$55 http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?...product_id=126

But honestly, for someone who's just getting into the hobby...I would say get something used, and see if you actually enjoy the hobby. You wouldn't want to waste $1000+ and then see that its "not for you". I got into this hobby with a brushed rtr 2wd SCT...Bought with lipo's and charger...completely RTR off eBay for $180...after I got that I knew this hobby was something I actually liked. After that I was more comfortable getting better stuff.
