新手 NT1 or RX8?

新手想玩车.  有遥控油及電直多年經驗.  1/8 or 1/10 比較容易上手? 1/8 是否激一點? 想購買最好的, 唔想慢慢upgrade.

相信第一次砌及set车, 失败率会相当高,有無師父有全套服务包带入场, 怎样聯絡? Please PM me.

如1/8, 除RX8, 有無其他選擇?

如1/10, NT! 2010 WC edition or 2011 spec?

電车T3 好吗?

感謝幫忙

Appreciate your helpful summary.  It gives me a better general idea.  More comments please, if possible.  Is the RX8 too new (I see it was released earlier this year) and the product is not yet matured?  Just a guess.

Just bought a 4PKS to get ready.  Any building and setting up service for RC Cars.  Will TRC do that for you?  I know nobody in the RC Car playing field.

How much are we talking about here?  Are we talking about $x0,000 or $x00,000?

CHing 們, 剛剛做了點Capricorn資料研究, 好似好複雜 wor!

Yep, building could be fun but it could sometimes be frustrating (especially when I have no experience in rc cars).  I have done my fair share of rc heli building for years and if I can relate that to rc cars, it would be difficult to achieve what an experience builder can do and I may waste a completely good (and maybe expensive) car.  It's sometimes a hurdle to get into a hobby especially when something is not built correctly and it will strip the fun out of the hobby.

In some cases, a person's job may also prevent him from building a model.  I have known a few doctors who loves filying RC Heli but do not wish to involve in buiding RC Heli.  If you were their patient, would you want a doctor with dirty fingers to touch you or put a thermometer in your mouth?  I won't but that's just an example (maybe a bit far fetched though).

Actually, to give you guys the whole story, one week ago, I bought a VORZA Flux HP and a Kysosho Inferno VE (ORION) and a 4PKS and 4 x Silverback lipo 6s (costing me over 14K already).  Both buggies are RTR.

I went to TRC one night and saw two guys playing some nitro on-road on the outdoor circuit.  It looks extremely fun and decided to give the hobby a serious go.  The problem is that there are so many choices of cars (1:10, 1:8, GP, EP, on-road, off-road, etc.) and in the RCTECH forum, most of the popular on-road cars have several hundred pages to read and I simply cannot find my "holy grail".  (I think NT1 has 500 pages.  Vorza has 400 pages.)

My two buggies (on Sweep slick tires) were crashed and broken at my fun night at TRC (it was fun) costing another $1,000 is replacement parts so I understand that this hobby is expensive.  Notwithstanding this, I still would like to go ahead and purchase an on road car in the next few days.

So far, Beebone Ching has suggested RX8 (from reading posts in this forum, he seems to be the undisputed expert on RX8).  Another suggests MCX5 which appears to have won the World Championship this year and is also a very good car.  Another CHing suggests Capricorn (which I am still learning what it is).

In the 1:8 world, which is the most popular model (something like an NT1 in the 1:10 world)?

Many many thanks to all the Chings.  I understand I asked a tough and difficult question in my original post and I hope to learn more.

哦,你是令我中毒的Ching.  What car were you driving on that night?

Thank you, Beebone Ching.  The look of XRAY's car is very sexy - orange alu parts against carbon black.  Yummi.

Beebone Ching, which car has a larger sweet spot, MRX5 or RX8?  By larger sweet spot, I mean a resonably small incorrect setting would not result in very erractic behaviour and still drive reasonably well?

I understand that MRX5 WC edition is arriving in HK very soon (with new clutch & some option parts, etc.), would it be a good idea to get this package?

Which Nova Rossi should I go for Flash PT or PTS?  What are the differences?  What are 9 port and 7 port engines,  Kangeroos etc.?  Does these engines require frequent rebuilding such as changing bearings, etc.?  Can you be kind enough to point me to posts/articles?  Some say they do not require running in but most say that the run in done by Nova Rossi is crap and requires running in yourself.  Is this true?

Sorry to ask a lot of newbie questions again.
