Another newbie needing advice

Hi! there
I’m looking for some advice on which r/c nitro to buy for 200-250quid. I’ve put together a list of cars that I can afford but haven’t a clue on what’s good. If someone could tell me the best one or ones out of this list, this would help me so much, as I m new to all this and any advice would be great!

I'm from Scotland so these prouducts might be under a different name in the U.S

Well the HPI RS4 3 is an excellent car. It's easy to wrench on and can stand up to a newbie's bashing. Another crazy car is the CEN. Suppose to do something like 60-70MPH. CEN has some durable cars. 70MPH isn't practical on the track but hey...It sure is fun stuff

My friend has an HPI RS4 3 and its a total POS...It had an air leak, he got it fixed and it still runs like crap, and now his electronics are screwed up. He hasnt ran it since this summer so it was a total waste of his money. He needs to take it to our lhs but hes too lazy lol. Oh, and his dad doesnt know he has it . I dont know about other peoples experiences with this car but Id steer clear of it.

Get MTX3. My son went through HPI RS4 N3, I spent so much money on it and still couldn't complete one lap on real track. Sometimes was just loosing parts for no reason. If you get good car from the beggining you will end up with cheaper fun.
