best electric rc cars trucks image
Gabrielle
I want to get my husband a radio controlled car or truck for his birthday. I want to get one that is good quality and wont break easily. I would prefer one made in the USA but I know it will probably be hard to find one, so that really isn't necessary. What do you suggest? I am willing to spend up to $150 on it
Answer
You are a good wife! My wife hates my RC obsession! LOL! Honestly, if you want to get him a good one it will cost a little bit more than $150. You want to be able to get replacement parts for it when it breaks, and it will break. There is no stopping that. Some of the top RC brands on the market today are Traxxas (my personal favorite), HPI, Assocaited, Losi, Tamiya and Kyosho. A great place to purchase one online is www.towerhobbies.com. There are coupon codes on the home page you can enter at checkout to get an extra $30 off the price too. If this is his first RC, I would suggest this one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZDB3RR&P=ML This Slash is a perfect beginner RC and VERY popular right now. If you are willing to spend a little more, I would get him this one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXYNB0**&P=ML. This is basically the same thing as the first one, just that it's 4x4 and the first one is 2 wheel drive.
If you notice, you will see a yellow and black icon near the top of the picture that says Easy Pay. This allows you to make 3 monthly payments so you are not putting one large amount on your credit card at once. Makes it nice to be able to pay it off in 3 months, and it still ships the day/next day you order it.
There are a lot of things to consider when buying a RC. Both I suggested are electric. There are nitro RCs as well and those tend to be a little more expensive. It all depends on what he would like. There are on road cars, monster trucks, etc. I suggested the first one because it's probably the cheapest and high quality RC you are going to find. These things can run up to $1000 or more. But worth every penny! Either way, I'm sure he will enjoy it! Hope this helps!

What is the best Nitro RC car for someone just getting into the hobby?
Q. I'm looking for an Off road type of Nitro car. Needs to be easy to get started with. Friend of mine bought a Savage X he is having a ton of trouble with parts breaking and starting the car even when he put 8 tanks through it breaking it in he cant even get it to run more then a few minutes if he is lucky before it stalls out on him. Is there something out there that is easier straight out of the box that is a Nitro car?
Thanks for the input. Yes I have looked on-line and been to stores but I need some personal experiences to which in your opinion is a good starter nitro RC truck. Most of the stores I have been to will just about throw anything at you to make a sale so I am sick of those guys, and online all you can do is read discriptions. Have any of you found that a certain car was a lot easier to break in and get running than most? I am thinking of going to electric since they are hell of a lot easier to get running but I really would like to go with a nitro.

Answer
the Tower Hobbies TOWER nitro st w/.15 rebuilt is a good starter but if you went with the electric Traxxas rustler XL-5 it would last longer with hardly any tuning and it's 9mph slower than the savage but it has better handling and is less fragile
P.S. both trucks cost the same in the end
