unless u have some one there by ur side who knows nitro i would suggest u get electric and work ur way into nitro because thats where a lot of people go wrong with rc cars is they jump right into nitro thinking oh it will be a breeze and i have seen people do this and get a nitro headache and just quit. so please be careful in ur decision electric doesnt have a lot of care behind it, u just plug and go but nitro has a lot of maintenance and up keep, i suggest a Erevo or Savage Flux
