Know your Nitro RC cars?

[chris_r]

Hi all

I am completely new to this and so is my dad so i have a couple of questions. First off.

My dads just got a condor pro 1/10th car, i was wondering is it possible for him to put any other shells on instead as the shell it came with? It has a spoiler, but im sure it could be removed. I just think it would look a lot better as say an actual car rather than a 'buggy/rc look'

Anyway, i am looking into getting my own first nitro RC and i have a budget of around £160. What do you recommend? I would like something which i could possibly change shells, something which i could upgrade in due course, as i would like to add some better wheels and tyres, pimp it out.

Thoughts appreciated very much

Some fantastic help there, thanks guys. Really did not expect that kind of response. In light to what you have all said, i want to up my budget to around £300.

The type of racing i would like to do is on and off road. As my dads can go on road, grass and stones, i would prefer joining him.

I seen this on eBay, is this really half price? and is it any good?

Thanks for the vast amount of info it is very helpful.

khevolution, i love the look of that car in your first link, it sounds like an amazing RC. The price though doesn't even include an engine though, right?

No one go mad at me but i was also looking at a 1/5th monster truck & hummer. Any feelings on them?
