Yeah, the only downfall to these damn trucks is there so much $$$$$, Parts that break plus $30 a gallon for Nitro, But its well worth it.

Monster trucks are so fun though...so versatile. I've had several different types of RC, but they can't just go everywhere like the trucks and still handle well. Here are a couple of shots of my Savage dropped into street mode. It kills many road cars.

what would you guys suggest for the novice new to the world of RC cars? We just started talking about these at work. I've heard they are expensive.

They are very expensive.
I would start off with an electric RTR(ready to run)kit. Maybe a team associated stadium truck like the RC10T4 or something.

yeah they are, i gotta electric, the car itself without electronics is like 180, a good motor is like 30 to 50 bux, a battery is 50, the radio is around 100 or more, a speed control is around 100, batt charger is around 50, then tools and accessories...

gas cars are just as much if not more and more maintenance is involved
