WHERE CAN i GET NITRO RC CARS?
Can i get them at toys r us, radio shack? and i want a store that sell them with everything needed to start driving (nitro car fuel, fuel bottle, glow plug igniter).
What kind of nitro car is the best for begginers and why? (HPI Nitro RS4 rc cars, rc buggies and trucks, offroad/on road)?
also what is the avarage speed range?
No websites like ebay you can give me website that inform you about the cars though.
Price range of $100-250
Please ignore the first two guys. They have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what they are talking about. That being said, tower hobbies is probably the most popular online hobby shop. They usually have the best prices and selection, too. However, don't forget to check out your local hobby shop. The nearest worthwhile hobby shop in my neck of the woods is an hour away, but sometimes worth the drive. Average speed is 35-55 mph for 2WD stadium truck, about 40 for most buggies and truggies, 35-45 for most popular monster trucks, upwards of 60 or 70 for touring cars. Keep in mind that these figures are for the BONE STOCK, not modified in any way, ready to run vehicles. Do yourself a favor and at least check out the traxxas rustler vxl. Its electric, but just take a look.
