Two months ago I bought a toy grade rc car for my brother, he likes it very much and now he is into rc car. He wants me to buy him a "real" rc car, so I am looking for one which is appropriate for a beginner. So I want to ask a question here, which one is more suitable? On-road or off-road? And I found 2 models for example: http://www.tinydeal.com/110-scale-electric-powered-onroad-racing-car-px7q8m--p-8604.html and http://www.tinydeal.com/smartech-brushless-motor-speedy-electric-powered-110-scale-hobby-rc-offroad-buggy-car-px7q8m--p-8214.html , what do you think about them? In addition, how about their prices?

Does he like to race?What tracks are available?As far as I know,on road have a greater top speed but off road are more versatile.

He never own a professional rc car himself. I think most rc car hobbyists would also like to race? Many people would like to enjoy the high speed and have fun. But as he is only a beginner, I don't know to choose which kind for him.

If you have got more offraod tracks around your house,obviously the buggy is the way.If you've got more on-road tracks,the on-raod car is the way forward.About the brands,I have no clue on how good the cars you have mentioned are.

Does he like minis by any chance?If he does,take a look at these.I don't know how the minis are(except the RC18T2/B2)but Team Associated is a big name.

If there is any particular kit you want to know about,wait for the experts.

buy a off road one. you can use it for both on road- as well as off road
One thing, the stock electronics on these car dont seem really good, so dont expect some very high end performance
I'll be back.
