Tons can be found on Amazon... since you are just starting I would recommend pre assembled kits

If you've never flown, buy the "Sturdy bird" by duraplane I believe

You can crash it over and over, buy nothing nice until you master it

Lots of people go nuts with those Traxxus cars, spend tons of money on mods for them. I'd get something you can upgrade and play around with because if not just driving it around in a circle will get boring quick.

I got started in helicopters. Next purchase will be an airsoft tank. Maybe one day get an airplane.

Saw this yesterday. What people can do with the cars is pretty insane....

I used to build RC boats with my dad. Are you looking for something you can build or buy out of the box?

WOW! My dad bought me that exact car when I was maybe 6-7. Talk about memory lane.

Yup,
I restore old Tamiya vintage cars from the 1980's. Also fly electric park flyers to include planes, helis and quadcopters.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic. None of what you see here is a re-release. What is not shown is my restored 1977 Tamiya Martini Porsche 935 Turbo.

Are you in Baton Rouge? There used to be an R/C airfield off Burbank by Highland Rd. Hobby Towne in Baton Rouge has some people that hang around there that are pretty knowledgeable.
