I my favorite so far has been my RC10B4. I got the team kit that comes with all the pretty titanium and carbon fiber stuff

The kits are not very hard to assemble nothing like building a plane because if you mess up you can just take it apart and redo it because everything is screwed together.

You are going to have to take it apart and put it back together many times over anyway for repairs and maintenance.

They give step by step instructions with too. I believe team associated has them to download on their website.

Have you went to any hobby shops and asked about local racing ?
