I was fun and all, but you could only get 5-7 min of run time on a battery pack and charging and conditioning multiple batteries was very tedious, taking away from the fun. My next r/c was a HPI nitro powered truck. The difference was HUGE. More power, more run time. Yes there is more maintenance involved to keep it running and clean, but I am still a nitro fan!! If this is going to be your first R/C car, go with a Traxxas T-max or Revo. They come ready to run, just need batteries and fuel and replacement parts are readily available, because you will break parts. Good Luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> When I started in R/C many moons ago, I started with an electric Tamiya Dirt Thrasher.
