IDK, I would think starting with something less complicated would be the way to go for a first timer. I would recommend the Team Associated RC10GT, it's not a monster truck, it's a Stadium truck. Easy to work on and maintain, great for bashing and racing, extremely durable. Priced very well new in RTR at $285.00 or so, parts are easy to find, tons of hop-ups and it's fast. It's an aging design but it still wins the big races.
