You might be better for a starter, getting a RTR, Ready to run.
I know many will say no, there not this and that. But to get started there great value for money.
and new, so no ones broken or worn out buggy, better when new as you may not get as much as a bargain as you hoped.
A TLR 22 rtr is less than 300. and also AE do the B4.1 around the same price.
good base to get going and then as you improve you can upgrade the speedo, motor, radio, suspension, bla bla bla......
just a thought.
www.apexmodels.com have a few RTR you can see online for an idea of whats about.
