Its in peices, and it's to low to run on the street. The car was made by the same people that make the rc10t. Which I had one of but sold. Both of which were electric. I would like to get back into rc cars again, my buddy got me into these xmod things and I started messing around with them. Fun, but it like a gateway drug it's leading me to big and better things. which brings me to my piont. I'd like to buy a on raod car, 1/10 th scale or larger, nitro, not electric. Something and can tear around a parking lot with or race on a road course if one happens to pop up. What should I buy? where should I look? I live about 5 time from als hobby shop, and I've also noticed that most car come assembled. Why? When I bought cars you'd have to build then yourself.
Also I don't know much about nitro car, or nitro at all. Is there anyone in the area (elmhurst, villa park, lombard) that has somehting like this that they'd like to do alittle schooling on? Thanks in advance.
First off, welcome to the forums and to rc!
Those rc10t's are now rc10t4's, highly competetive. Most cars come pre-assembled now becase of all the beginners and lazy people out there lol...
There's a great deal on a huge on road car going on now for only $300, normally about $500.

Other cars to check into are rc10ntc3 (Radio controlled (rc) 1/10 scale (10) Nitro touring car (ntc) 3 (3rd edition)), and some more high end cars like serpent and xray can be waaay up there in prices but they are kits unlike the ntc3.
I'm sure others will have some imput too.
