The one you showed is a great beginner model, and it is glitch free. But id reccomend a Spektrum DX3, but if you want the "ultimate" beginner radio than use a traxxas TQ3, they arent THAT bad.
The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

I can vouch for the Spektrum DX3. It has been glitch free and has a nice range of features for the relatively low $250 pricetag. The built-in failsafe and absence of crystals is nice too - no worries about someone else on your band.
