I've been interested in R/C for a few years now and have been buying and studying pretty much every magazine I can lay my hands on. Now I finally have enough money to buy a rig, I'm stumped.

I've decided that I want an offroad or rally nitro vehicle, the bigger the better. I like the look and standard features of the T-Maxx, but as I am interested in racing, I am thinking of a 1/8th buggy such as an Ultra Worlds 2. Then I also spotted a Campagnucci or something that promises 40-50 minutes of run time per tank of standard automotive gas and no flameouts. Do these guys make an offroader with this?

Please help! Money really isn't an issue as my father recently released my trust fund and it has more money than any r/c car I've ever seen costs. I have had some R/C cars, but none "serious". I have been studying them for a few years and belive that I have a reasonable knowledge of how the cars come together and are maintained, so the car doesn't have to be strictly for beginners.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

dont get a 1/8th scale for racing start out with something easier like an electric truck, if you want a fun car go with the tmaxx even thought it is gas im sure traxxas has great manuals to help you tune it, but for racign start with an electric then go gas got go all out racign in one day practice then when you think your redy for gas go for it
