get a slash or HPI Blitz, If your into the buggy look the Traxxas Bandit VXL is awesome for a first car. Thats what i started with 10 years ago(although VXL wasnt created then.) If you have no experience driving you can but your car into "training" mode where it gives you 50% speed and 100% braking power. Then when you feel that you are ready for higher speeds. Adjust the car setting to go 100% and have some fun bashing or racing.
