What goes around comes around

There are many parameters to think about. One is how much money you want to spend. These cool toys can reach rather high prices once you add special features.

After deciding about the price here are a few things to look for on the specs list:

  • Max. speed. Some are faster and others are slower but you need to decide if this is important to you.
  • Max. range. It can be quite frustrating when your car gets out of range. Make sure it can pick up the signal from the range you want.

Here are two links that'll give you an idea of what on the market.

I have a T-Maxx 3.3 gas powered. not quite for a begginer but thats what i started out with. he could learn to work on it from the web site. I love my R/C but it does take a lot of keeping up. Plus its really fun on the sand using paddle tires.
