[QUOTE="XD-9Guy, post: 2675538, member: 4869"] I have a cousin wantin a "fast" RC car/truck, his sister wants to get it for him and asked if I knew anything about them... I don't. I tried to read some forums and quickly found it's like every other hobby in the regard that there are lots Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge type arguments and little to no consensus. I know I have seen some RC discussion on here so I figured I'd see what OSA had to say. Where is a good place to start? He'll need everything so a bundle would be nice and budget is a concern since he doesn't know if the hobby will stick. Is there such a thing as a sub-$100 setup that would make a decent place to start? A vehicle that he could modify/upgrade later would be cool if he wants to speed it up. If $100 is unrealistic where is the entry point dollar wise? And then just for my own curiousity... I see these Traxxas rigs that are crazy fast that say they are "Nitro"; are those tiny gas motors that are really running on nitroglycerin??? [/QUOTE]
