Sure, the RTR versions ready to run, which is industry speak for pre-built, so you can unbox them and get driving make it pretty quick from unpacking the box to getting underway.

I would definantly recommend buying a complete extra set of tires for your car and some CA glue the day and minute you buy your rc car. The tires wear very quick so be prepared.
I highly recommend making an investment when you buy your car and get a good quality one. I promise you it will pay off in the long run.

Thank you. Hi everyone I bought a tacon soar brushed rc car it's my first rc I made a little track in the back to race it I'm having problems with the breaks the car doesn't stop fast at all and sometime I have to push the trigger to revers twice before it actually reverses can anyone help me out with this?
I kinda want it to crop "on a dime" or as fast as possible! Reply 1 year ago. That's a really good car. Check the ESC.
Reply 3 years ago. Just wanted to share my 2 cents. If you are just getting into the hobby, the first thing is to think about is where you are going to run it. The track determines the car. Say you have an outdoor asphalt track nearby and you get a short course truck, you won't be happy running it there as everyone around you will probably have a touring car and blasting past you. On to what cars to buy, I prefer the smaller scales because they can be carried around easily, especially in a backpack and you can run them indoors.
The best bang for your buck at is Carisma GT24b. For , it's LC Racing emb-1h buggy and its variants. You get full metal gears, metal oil shocks, full ball bearings and metal plated chassis. Camber and toe are adjustable, which are very important for high speed cornering.
It's plenty tough and has tons of spare parts. Do a search on Youtube and you'll see how good they are. With any RC, make sure the company offers spare parts because parts will wear out, you will crash and things will break.
It will save you a lot of time and money on repairs. Going fast in a straight is easy; the corners are where a race is won and lost. That's why camber, toe, tires, and suspension are more important than the motor.
