Getting into RC

The most important thing to know when getting into RC is what am I going to do with it.  Some want to race some just want to see how fast they can go and others want to climb things or something in between.  Knowing what your going to do will determine what type of car you should get.  Then you must decide how much your willing to spend and what your skill level is.  The basic would be an electric 2wd vehicle to just keep things simple.  A 4wd vehicle may cost more but may meet your needs better and then last longer.  Check out your local hobby shop they may also be able to help you.  Above all else remember this is to be fun and we need to not overreach and buy a pure racing machine to drive in the backyard.  This will cost you a ton and most likely put you out of the hobby after spending to much.  There are alot of cross over cars and trucks that make great bashers and good racers so be sure to check them out.  If you need help just ask and have fun.
