My first RC?

[RCG]

Hey guys, first off i just want to say that is awesome to be on this forum!! and that I wasn't sure on where to post, so if it is in the wrong place just let me know and i will try to get it moved.

These days i have a little more time on my hands and not a lot to do with it. After spending most of my life scrolling through the worldwide web i came across something that interested me, RC. Now when i was younger i had an Electric Subaru 4 wheel drive and i remember it being awesome. Since then the RC world has gone crazy with some of the models i have been seeing on YouTube. My problem is i don't know where to start or what model i want? I have been looking online for a while now at the site below and some others but still can not come to a decision, so where better then here to get the information needed. I am looking for an RC that is more designed for off road buggy style (Image below), Gas or electric although i have never owned a gas powered RC before so that will be new for me.

Apart from this i am not sure what other specs i should be looking out for as i am new to the game. But if there is anything else i should take into consideration just let me know. I have also been looking into these build yourself buggies... What are you thought on these for a beginner? Thanks
