You didn't say weather you wanted nitro or electric so here are two good starter trucks that can hopped up later and are great racers.

You won't get a better stadium truck for the money, even if you spend a lot more, you will really only get a more expensive equal truck lol. The RC10 is a great vehicle and can easily be raced just as it comes from the box. No real upgrades needed.

Default RC10GT

Did someone say RC10GT.

General consensus I think, can carry you on to racing no problem. Upgrades and parts everywhere for this thing.


Good luck

I was also wandering what else if anything do u have to install in an rtr vehicle other than the glow plug . is their any electronics like servos or the reciver for the transmitter right after u get out of the box before u begin to actually get the car running and if so is it very time consuming
