New to RC again

[Whitey04]

According to Associated's site, their RTR's are made offshore, and the kits are made in the good ole USofA. alute:

RTR brings good value to someone who isn't looking to upgrade much. Kits allow you to install exactly what you want for engine, radio, servos, etc. without having to strip out the entry level RTR gear and unload it. Hardcore racers generally want kits so they can build it ready to race the first time out.

I got yeah there, thats how all my old cars came, so I understand that, but I'm new to this whole nitro thing so I'm thinking a RTR might be a good way to learn. As long as I can still upgrade a RTR then I'm fine with that. I'm all about displacement, yeah know what I mean.
