What is the best Nitro RC car for someone just getting into the hobby?
I’m looking for an Off road type of Nitro car. Needs to be easy to get started with. Friend of mine bought a Savage X he is having a ton of trouble with parts breaking and starting the car even when he put 8 tanks through it breaking it in he cant even get it to run more then a few minutes if he is lucky before it stalls out on him. Is there something out there that is easier straight out of the box that is a Nitro car?
Thanks for the input. Yes I have looked on-line and been to stores but I need some personal experiences to which in your opinion is a good starter nitro RC truck. Most of the stores I have been to will just about throw anything at you to make a sale so I am sick of those guys, and online all you can do is read discriptions. Have any of you found that a certain car was a lot easier to break in and get running than most? I am thinking of going to electric since they are hell of a lot easier to get running but I really would like to go with a nitro.
the Tower Hobbies TOWER nitro st w/.15 rebuilt is a good starter but if you went with the electric Traxxas rustler XL-5 it would last longer with hardly any tuning and it’s 9mph slower than the savage but it has better handling and is less fragile
P.S. both trucks cost the same in the end
