Yea, if ur a beginner on nitro, get a Hpi, when u break stuff, u can go almost anywhere to get replacement parts. Hpi NRs4 is a great car you can mess around with, i.e.. changing parts, hop ups etc. But u don't wanna spend too much on hop ups part, before you know it u can get another car with all hop ups u got on the car. My friend got a NRS4 and I use too also, it was a fun car to mess around with, thats how I first learn about nitro.
