get a monster truck nitro car less chance off f00kin it. Where is big enough to go 70 mph? and think of the damage it will cause. go for savage 21/25 traxxes etc much more fun they go any where

i have the thunder tiger tsn-4 - scooby road car,
thunder tiger ssk 1/10th truck and
savage 21.
none of which are in working condition at the moment, as tsn-4 needs belt + a couple of cheap plastic parts, ssk neads rear shock tower, then its for sale, and my savage needs a new stearing servo 
You don't really want to get a rally car as that limits you where you can use it, with only about 1-2cm ground clearance i get sparks of the chassis using it in car park. Need a proper racing circuit to use well. A off roader or a buggy will be much more fun, as can be used in car parks, gravel, grass etc.
You could get a savage for about £200 on ebay fully built radio etc. you don't really want a kit if you are new to hobby, as it can be hard enough to tune + set-up the car, without having to build it as well. Can be easy to maintain, depends on your luck/skill + use of car. Savage is one of the strongest models on the market, the servo is the only thing ever broke on mine, and nothing has broke on my mates 25 yet.
