what is the best brand for 1:10 scale nitro gas RC cars?

Question

Is Tamiya or Kyosho or other any good

Answer 1

I have a couple Kyosho's and an electric stadium truck, and I think both brands are very good. Your best resource is a local hobby shop that has someone who knows about them. You can have a very long discussion about what kind of needs you have for the car.
As far as getting started in R/C, if this is a first car, nitro's are a lot more work, but the realism of the sounds and the longer run times can more than make up for that.
Good luck and keep asking...

Answer 2

Like Crazy said, gas rc cars tend to be very big and very pricey. If you just want to give it a try you'll be going with a nitro powered car. The link below is to a site I buy rc stuff from all the time. They don't say how fast the car can go, but i'd guess maybe 35-40 mph tops. That may not sound very fast, but the car is small and will get out of sight in just a few seconds. That site has lots of different cars to look at, but you can google for 'rc rtr nitro car' and find all sorts of vendors. Make sure to read the 'required items' to know what else you'll need. The 'rtr' stands for 'ready to run' and doesn't really cost much more than a kit. Again, Crazy is right about the cars needing constant cleaning. You can probably get away with driving the car a few times between cleanings, but the more you clean it the longer it will last. Any rtr car you get should some with cleaning tips.
