I have both and here is my opinion. For someone starting out go with electric no doubt! The gas models (nitro) are a pain to mess with due to a more complex engine that you need to tune the carb with temperature and humidity changes, have to keep a very close eye on engine temp. with a temperature gun ( more$), clean and flush the motor with after run oil after using it due to nitro draws moisture very easily and nitro fuel costs around $25 a gallon from my local hobby shop. There is a ton of stuff you need to buy and service you need to do to the motor to keep it in top condition. Electric on the other hand all you need to start is a truck, batteries and a battery charger. After using it you plug in the battery and thats it. To run for hours you will need a couple of batterys or a quick charger. I bought my son a Traxxas Rustler and am very pleased with it for a starter truck. Traxxas or Team Associated has several models that are nice but the Traxxas is a good brand with cheap easy to find parts. I hope this helps some!

Electric cars are good for beginers because they are slower and dont cost as much monney so if you break it it wont be (as big) as a deal. now if you went gas you whouldent have to recharge it and will get to play more but the gas is pricy and so are the gas cars. there is a class between electric and gas i think its called nitro, those are preaty cheap and are like a gas RC car. here is a link to some RC cars in catagories :) http://www.hpiracing.com/index2.htm

Electric would be cheaper and wouldn't pollute.
