Debate: Best start-up car/truck for first timers.

[Casketman]

Might as well make a thread so we dont end up hijacking a different thread.

So what is a good starting car/truck for someone who is totally knew to the hobby?
Personally,I say MT and here is why:

Easier to work on(these are new racers/bashers we are talking about)

Can be cheaper then a truggy or buggy.

How well they hold up is not really an issue unless you want to look at who makes the car. But all 4 classes(including 1/10th) can hold their own when used for what they were built for(I.E. Nothing will hold up well when being jumped off a roof!)

And if that person does race. The class will be smaller then with truggy/buggy. Granted,the class is on life support right now at the track here. But there are times when there is a class. So it is not totally dead yet!

Now I also understand the person that is going to buy the car/truck will need to buy one for what they can wrench on basicly. Some people can jump right in and understand or work on a truggy/buggy. While others need to start out in MT or something else because they dont know how to use a screwdriver!

So lets hear it!
