You looking to race? or just drive around in parking lots and streets? (bashing we call it for obvious reasons)

If you are looking to race and want to get in at a very good and easily upgradable car, the Kyosho FW-05T is VERY good for starting out.

The Associated NTC3 RTR is also very good, cheaper, and easier to get parts for. The associated is a bit more delecate than the kyosho which is a bit more sturdy IMHO.

a .15 isnt always good, at some tracks you cant run a .15 since .12 is the spec for most racing series. thats one key item to keep aware of.

Tower hobbies carries all the parts you need for the Associated making it easy to order stuff, Kyosho parts are hit/miss on Tower making it sort of a pain to get replacements at times.
