Buying an R/C

First of all, Thank you "jacob" for posting a comment about this, I am happy that I can finally help someone. Your comment is about... "i am thinking about buying a rc car but i want to know if i should get gas or eletric? i want one that is durable low matince and has some speed. i want it were you can pull it out from storage and do little work for it to run like new and is very durable."

First off, I think that electric is a better choice, rather than gas. Electric is usually waterproof, meaning that you can go anywhere you want to (even though I wouldn't recomend driving  it through water all the time, it could lead to future problens if you do it too much). Electric is efficient, Durable, and fast.

I would suggest that you get an off road truck. When you get an on road vehicle it is hard to convert it to off-road, So I would say get an off-road truck. I would suggest a 4WD vehicle, as they are alot better with handling and getting around. I would also suggest getting a brushless motor. Yes, they are more expensive, but brushless is more durible, it is a faster running motor, and it is more waterproof.

All in all, You would be looking between $250-$800 for a brushless off-road, truck but it varies.

Do some exploring on some R/C sites ( I would suggest Traxxas, Losi, RedCat racing, and HPI racing). Once you have looked at these sites post another comment, and I will summarize what I have wrote today.

Do some exploring, Have fun, and get back with me on what other information you got please!

-Thanks
