Hi guys, after much researching I have considered to get a nitro on-road car.

looking at this few models...

kyosho inferno gt (love the models on this car, hate the pull start anyways around it?)
hpi rs4 evo (some people recommended, looks nice with the m3)
traxxas 4tec 3.3 (love the speed and electric starter , but afraid about belt drive)

I'm looking for something easy to play with as this is my first nitro rc, hoping to avoid pull-start engines? Btw anybody know the price of the following and where to get them? But i read most are pull start and have to instal automatic starter? Which of the above is reliable or can you give me any recommendation or are there anything better than this, looking at ready kits as have no intention to diy yet, have no budget just want some reliable and fun. Thanks.

It is better to fix it up yourself, then you will know how to repair it when you crash.

Hi noobzpro, you may want to consider the RS4 3 EVO + RTR kit from HPI..

I have the last generation model, without the +, pretty reliable as it is, crashed a few times, only required a simple hand mashing to fix the popped out dogbones.

Starting only requires a press of a button only, so you can't get any easier than that.
