Im 14 years old and looking forward to get get into this hobby im going into competitions and want a fast Rc car but don't know what to look for Spending around $100 to $200

please Respond Thanks

Nitro is traditionally for those who want to do things very seriously. They take time, they take money, they take maintenance. For instance, i race my 1/8th rallycross buggy every week. For a days racing, in which i'll use the car maybe two hours, i will need to spend at least two hours cleaning, oiling and fixing it, minimum. Much more if its muddy. Nitro is also quite expensive. For instance, your cheap nitro 1/8th buggy will cost maybe $250, plus $15 for a failsafe, plus $25-$35 a month of fuel, depending on how your car is tuned, the fuel, and weather conditions. This is without the inevitable spare parts you'l need to buy.
Point being, nitro is definitely the hobby side of things.
As to electric, there are really two types of electric now, brushed and brushless.
A brushed electric can cost maybe $100 RTR (RTR=ready to run) plus perhaps $30 for a good charger and $25 for a decent battery. They are the slowest of the rc cars, however, i run a brushed electric in the '2wheel drive 1/10th' class, and regularly get round quicker than nitro rustlers, firestorms etc. Brushed should not be dismissed due to it being old hat, it's cheap to run/spares and a good laugh. Clearly, you will never keep up with a good driver in a nitro of some sort, but they are a very good first platform to learn the basics of driving, and decide wether this is actually the hobby for you. (I just bought the ansmann 'macnum' kit, this along with the 'madrat' are really very very good for the price they ask, available in either kit or RTR, kit will probably teach you more in the long run.)
Finally brushless. Brushless motors are fairly new to the scene, and are actually pretty immense, IMHO. Brushless motors are around 95% efficient, compared with brushed motors around 45%. This means they can push much much quicker and deal with much higher current before heat becomes too much of a problem. Brushless is as quick as nitro, though some will disagree, and has a very distinct driving style. However, Brushless rigs, and the li poly batteries that power them are as expensive, is not more so, than nitro.

The last thing i will add, if i may, is that economy here is a false economy. Cheap RCs break, break and then probably break again. Get the best you can, or save up some more cash, it will save you time and money in the long run.

that are fast like 60mph

craigslist or ebay, unless you wana buy new, then towerhobbies, rcplanet, etc.

I'll list them in cubic inches, since that's how I refer to them but I'll try to include cubic centimetres too.

The smallest I know of is .05, but that's quite an old one and not one that you'll likely come across anytime soon.

'Small Block' engines ~ .07, .09, .12 or 2.1cc, .15 or 2.5cc, .18 or 3.0cc, .19 (Traxxas 3.3), .20 (Team Losi 3.4)
'Big Block' engines ~ .21 or 3.5cc, .24, .25, .26, .27, .28 or 4.6cc, .30, .32, .36, .38, .42, .50

There are probably much more big block sizes in between the ones I've listed, but that's all I know off the top of my head.

Generally, big block engines fit in 1/8 scale cars. And small block engines fit in 1/10 scale and smaller.
Obvious exceptions to that are the Traxxas 3.3 engine which is in the Revo and T-maxx 1/8 scale trucks. And the Schumacher Fusion car and Schumacher Menace truck, both 1/10 scale with .21 or .28 big block engines.

Awesome.
Simply awesome.

Even Pull Start ones?

yes, you need a electric starter thing with a battery hooked up to it for 30 minutes and take it out and put it in and pull start it or have it plugged in with the battery and plug it in and pull start it.

i have nitro rc car. i got it from traxxas. if you like elec they got them too. the also have marine. They are cariied at a lot of hobby stores

hey, i was thinking to buy a nitro rc car in nyc, but i live in Quebec city, Canada. I was wondering were in quebec, i could find good fuel for rc cars? And also, if there isnt any shop in quebec, can i put normal gasoline in the rc car? cause i dont think my local toy store sells that. thanks for helping me

o and ive almost 4got, all scales of rc cars (1/5, 1/16, 1/10, etc. ) work with same fuel? or i need different for each scales?
yo, thanks alot benz, but is it normal that like 2 gallons of nitro fuel costs 160$ ?
how much time can i ride with 4 gallons?
oo, thats nice price thanks alot, but do i need to like, lubricate, adjust suspensions, (mantain) the rc nitro car very often, or like 1-2 times each month?

I see what your looking at and that's is 4 gallons for $160 but one gallon is around $30
at least a 8 months but that depends on how often you drive
