RC cars is going to be a great and relatively affordable option to unleash your inner gear head. I found that repairing/modding rc cars is just as rewarding as working on my truck or dirt bike at times.

I agree If you are looking more full sized car I’d recommend an oldschool VW bug or super bug

Super easy to work on easy to find parts . Pretty inexpensive with a huge support and a huge page [www.thesamba.com](http://www.thesamba.com)

Once upon a time. Used to race stock cars and drag motorcycles. Walked away after a few close calls at 100+ mph. So many hours in the garage.

Yeah my lawyer does standing mile on a punchedout 1500 turbo Hayabusa, I asked him to put me in his will. He spun a tire at 190mph he switched the carbon fiber wheels back to aluminum. He said if he had padding on his seat he would have pinched a hole in it.

Just in general I recommend Arrma trucks tough as nails and pretty dang affordable for RC 3s brushless for a beginner and 6s if you have some pretty serious experience
