I am looking into starting a Nitro RC Hobby and I have come across a few different models, I am looking to spend 300 dollars on a RTR truck including the vehicle (RTR), a starter kit, fuel, and batteries. My top three choices I think I have come to like most are these:

I am not purchasing these vehicles from these webistes-they are only the manufacturers webpages. I have a local RC shop that is willing to sell me any one of these three for $199. I am not very knowledgeable on these and my local salesmen claims they are all 3 great starters, I am just looking for a second opinion. I am also definitely willing to purchase online as well. Thank You for your time. Any other suggestion on another RC is deffenetly welcome as well.

    I like the second one…
    It looks more versatile

    I have not heard of any of these brands except or CEN. For $200 that is an amazing price for an RTR. I like the 2nd one better. The CEN is good but I think it is too small for any off-roading you may want to do.
