I am new to this. i am looking at buying my first gas powered remote
car.This will not be for competition racing. It
will be for just racing with my friends and for just messing
around and jumping. I am looking for a well built car that can take a
little abuse
and that will be upgradeable. I was thinking my first car should be an
rtr. A few of the cars I have been considering are the 9.5
VIOLATOR,the  HYPER 7 PBS and maybe with the PCR upgrade or a
preesmbled HYPER 7 PRO. Does anyone know the difference between all
these models and what is everyone's suggestions? Are there other
vehicles I should be looking at?
Thanks,
Ken

My very first nitro vehicle was a Rustler made by Traxxas. I thought it was
a good nitro rc truck to start with, a lot of lhs carry the oem and hop up
parts. I even still have the same Rustler, but mostly aluminum parts now

Had a buddy with a Hyper 7 and he loved it (so did the person that
broke into his Blazer to steal the 7).

The manuals were a thing of beauty, too.

I've heard good stuff about the Hyper 7. I have a RTR Kyosho Inferno MP7.5
and that seems like a pretty good piece of gear for just mucking about.
