Welcome. Be prepared to be overwhelmed.

Do not rush to buy. Since racing seems to be the goal, I’m going to assume there’s a track in your area. Or within a reasonable drive. Over this summer I’m finding that in my area, an hour drive(50-60 miles) seems to be the limit for the average person.

the vehicles you listed



Options I have looked at this past weekend:

Traxxas Slash/Rustler 4x4 (what I always thought I would get but have heard bad things about Traxxas)

Losi Tenacity TT Pro

Arrma Senton 4x4

Losi Baja Rey

Arrma Kraton 6S

non of these would be considered “race grade”. A lot do have 2wheel Slash based “novice” classes. But that seems to be the limit for it.

Visit the track if possible. See what’s offered.
