    I'm wanting to get a new toy in a few months and need some help because I have NO experience with RC cars. So far I've decided that I want a RC car that can go off road and want to keep my budget around $300 or less?




    THE QUESTION ! ! !

    I'm not sure which brands are reputable, but more importantly is it better to get a Gas (Nitro) Car or a Electric Car? I don't want to do a Gas car if they fly through gas and I'm constantly buying more, but I don't want to get a electric car if the charge dies quickly...

    Also in the price range I'm looking at can the cars be customized with different parts or on the cheaper models can not much be done to them?

    After doing some research online I think I might go electric, seems easier for beginners.

    If I were to go back and do it again I would go electric. I started with nitro. The sound and smell of nitro is awesome, but you just need patients to get and keep them tuned. As far as brands go, you might want to look at Traxxas. Off the top of my head they have a good variety of starter models that are customizable in that price range.
