1 - Are you looking for something to race or just enjoy bashing around?

3 - What is your budget?
4 - Besides the model, what else do you need (ie: radio, receiver, esc, motor, servos)?
5 - What sort of speeds are you looking for? Speed comes with a price... better motors, better batteries, more broken parts. Something reliable around ~30-35mph could be obtainable for much less $$ than something reliable running at 45-50mph.

1) I would like to start racing but was trying to do it on a learning curve. Don't want to build out of control screaming fast. I like to just be some what competitive and grow and gain the skill to be a good driver instead of just a repair man. The reason not to go nitro for me.
2) We have some local outdoor tracks here in Florida (Tampa area) so I can get practice time in. I don't want to be the guy that cost someone the race. As I get a comfort level with the truck or buggy. We also have plenty grass or dirt areas to play in.
3) No budget-- more of the correct mid or upper level rc. I can increase the motor and batteries as skill increases.
4) I will need it all radio, receiver, esc, motor, servos. That's why I was thinking RTR.
5) I would think 30-35? to start out.
Thanks and any advice would be great.
