If you still got your Transmitter and reciever, I say go for HPI Racer 2 with a good engine. If you don't have your radio, go with the Yokomo GT-4 RTR.

i have the hpi car. great car except belt driven. go with shaft-drive. no belts to rip up. there are alot of parts out there for the hpi car. do a little reading before you jump in. everyone says that shaft is better/faster then belts. ( im not sure as i run belts) i also came over from electric. still have all my electric cars. still run them at the local track but theres nothing like nitro man. i should have jumped in years ago. good luck on your purchase. once you get it, we can talk you through on how to break in the motor. (unless you already know, your set!!)

hpi's r cool and all, but they are expensive to hop-up! (at least RTR are!)
