I have just gotten the RC feaver and I was looking to buy a nitro off-road car. I 13 which means Im on a buddget, I really dont want to spend over 500 right now. I want to get a RTR because they come with everything you need for the time being.For a while Im just going to be getting used to it understanding how it works and bashing.Later on down the road though I might do some racing,so I want a car that can bash and can be upgraded to become a good racer.I was lookin at the HPI Firestormhttp://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/10510/ . Please help all info is greatly appreciated.

If you don't have any experience with nitro engines, I would definitely suggest starting with electric. Nitro engines can be very picky & need constant maintenance. For the beginner this is not always a good thing.

The firestorm is a great truck. It is very durable, easy to run, and has a very strong motor. To make it even easier to run you can put the HPI rotostart system on it so you dont have to use the pullstart. overall its a great truck that a ton of people are 100% happy with
