the 1st rc I ever built was an mrc iron man, its also the 1st real rc I ever had, and still have. it wasn't raceable by any means against the t3's of the day. that was back in 97. building a kit teaches you how to work on it also, so I think that its benificial. I also think starting off in 1/10th scale electric teaches you to drive better
