I used to be into RC's years ago.
I've owned (at various times):
Traxxas Stampede Electric
Tamiya TG10 Nitro
Mugen MBX4 R Nitro 1/8 buggy
Traxxas TMaxx Nitro
Kyosho Mad Force Nitro
Team Associated T3 Electric
Hot Bodies Lightning Pro RR Nitro 1/8 buggy
So I have a good bit of experience with these things. One bit of advice I can offer is that be careful before getting into this hobby. It'll become a money pit and a obsession and could detract from other parts of your life. As if the 8 wasn't an obsession enough.
They are fun for sure. I remember setting up a big old ramp made out of a wood foldable table at one end of a baseball diamond. Then I'd run my Mugen MBX4 R as fast as I could up to the ramp and launch it. The damn thing flew at least 50ft and go at least 15ft of air and took the hits like a champ. Those 1/8 buggies are really the most fun of all the RC types. The MBX4 was a tank until I lost control of it and it smacked into a curb at WOT.
