should i get this or get a rc buggy?

Depends on if you want an outside toy or inside. This one is fairly quiet and does well indoors.

it depends on what you are looking for. a RM buggy doesn't spy, but could do fun jumps and go fast.

Also read about the radian rc glider. Very easy to fly and LAND. There are several sizes.

I would very much recommend a bigger motor. If you are on a budget, I'd recommend a used one with a bigger motor.

Honestly ,,, if you are going to spend a hundred bucks on a simulator I would just put another fifty with it and buy an mcpx . Sims are good for learning inverted control movements but can't compare to actually flying a machine . Find a grassy area and have fun . I have crashed my mcpx no less than a hundred times at a cost to fix of maybe 30$ . Stock up on main rotor linkages and order an extra servo for the main rotor and you will have loads of fun :-). Just my opinion , have a great time .

My understanding is that for an. RC plane it is very forgiving and good to learn on. But it is not a toy and certainly does not fly itself. The advice I was given seems sound: find someone with some experience to show you the ropes. There are apparently . many RC clubs around the country you could contact. Also, be prepared for the thing to crash, sustain damage, and need to be fixed. It's not super difficult, but it is something you need to be ready for. That's just sort of "the nature of the beast" for radio controlled planes, at least as far as I understand it. It would be the same issues with any other plan you might purchase. Hope that's helpful for you! My understanding is that for an. RC plane it is very forgiving and good to learn on. But it is not a toy and certainly does not fly itself.

Sadly it comes with no electronics. You will need to buy those seperatly however if this is the type of rc you are looking for you can get the honcho which is the same rc with a different body and comes pre-built and has everything you need.

They're both fine for pretty much all the use most recreational off-roaders will ever have for them. But go ahead and spend the extra $5 and get the "All Cast" version (the red one). It'll live through a little more abuse, and you'll look cool fitting in with all the other guys wheeling with them mounted to their rigs in one way or another.

You absolutely do need to supply the electronics for the kit version.If you are not sure what that means, you might want to consider the "RTR" or ready to run version, which includes motor, speed control, steering servo, radio, etc., and will be cheaper in the long run.

The cortex is more for trucks that still have factory warranties. they offer other programmers that are cheaper, however I don't have one bad thing to say about the programmer. When it's in performance mode it's all out balls to the wall, mpg mode I gain a few mpgs if I can keep my foot out of It. I don't use the tow mode so I'm no help there but for a plug and play it's worth the money. Change trans pressures shift points del mph gov. Most of the time mine is on 93 performance mode and I also have a lil work done to the motor 2012 5.3 haven't been beet by a hemi yet

Unless you are buying this for yourself I would buy. It has plastic gears which wear out quickly in the running gear. I hear this common with most all of the lower priced RC's I does run about 15 mph which is fast. They make faster ones.

This is a complete ready to fly RC plane. It is geared for the new flyer and the only thing extra you might need is a couple more batteries. I would recommend that you learn on a simulator and practice. Have a ball you will enjoy. If you have problems flying the first few times, spare parts are available. So to barrow the commercial, "just go do it".

this is a nitro rc car. not an electric. in my opinion this is a great buy. i bought 2 o themfitted with all the telemetry sensors and ipod dock. this car does 65mph +. trust me its a great car. it has a transmission and it pops wheelies easily, hint the wheelie bar.

Yep just make sure you don't have a brushless and you should be good to go, I also used it to upgrade an old analog control in a classic RC-10

I agree with Caleb's answer to this question. I own both the Champ and Mini Super Cub and both are great for new r/c flyers. Both are inexpensive and come with their own transmitter. The Champ is great for doing beginner loops and touch and goes. I learned much about flying from the Champ.

you can not return any hobbie grade rc car. The used one is somone selling one of their own, but i dont recccomend buying used. In the long run it could be cheaper nuying brand new instead.

RobertoAs far as I know yes. I actually have a brand new one for sale. I used it for a week after Christmas and ended up switching to a brushless motor. The 540 is fun motor to have in an rc.

Hello, The only difference is the body shell. Typically most drift RC's are pretty fast. Thank you.
