I'm thinking of getting a nitro/petrol RC car but dont wanna be spending shit loads of cash on one tbh. Want one that's quick that I can take to the beach or up the hills that is robust enough for my driving skills, lol

Any recomendations for a few hundred quid max!?

i had an old kyosho when i was younger

nitro powered and god it shifted

i think teh best allrounders are the buggys, as you can do so much with them and have plenty of enjoyment with them compared to a road rc car


ive just been looking at 1/5th scale with teh petrol engines but not much inf about them, but the FG make are a serious bit of kit

I don't know really probably better to get others opinions but I would say Something along the lines of a 1/10th stadium truck maybe just rwd as theres less parts on it to break etc. I would opt for one of the better known RC companies though like hpi traxxas etc rather than the cheaper you see on ebay.

whats the spec of the hpi MT-2.(too lazy to go and look for myself)

regards muppet.
