Basically, if it isn't made by Tamiya or Kyosho you don't want it.
I was going to say Traxxas and HPI, but if you say so
My brother's really into it, prolly spent well over £1k in the past few years, even helped set up a local off road RC club, which was going pretty well till they had a 'change of leadership' and he got kicked out :/
And correct me if I'm wrong, but Petrol/Nitro = same thing? He always used to tell me off for saying petrol when the real name is Nitro.

I know their different in terms of the elements, their two different substances, but I think people who don't know much about the RC cars call the nitro ones petrol because thats what it appears to be to average joe public. Could be wrong, but thats what I was always told.
