Hi, I see. Ok well that changes it a bit. It probably would depend on where you wanted to go with the hobby, the thing is the RTR type of cars are just for the back yard basher mainly.
Not to knock them at all, I mean I have one myself, but they don't seem to have the adjustment built in that say a more dedicated car has. I have a BV1 chassis and the biggest problem it has is the rear wanting to step out when coming into corners. It's too loose. Now there are ways to reduce or even fix the problem but the chassis doesn't allow for the type of adjustment required, at least not out of the box as it were. So, unless you can find someone who has found a way to fix it, you probably will find you rself giving it up pretty quickly. This is why a Touring car kit, or one already built of course, would save you a lot of hearache and frustration in the begining. I don't want to put you off at all, but be aware that this hobby is not an easy one! I would suggest if you are completely new, try a good electric car. The reason for this is this, with a gas car you are having to understand how to tune the thing so it runs reliably, and at the sametime learn how to adjust the setup so you can get round the track as fast as you can, now, from experience I can tell you that you will go off the track on more thatn one occasion, the car will inevitably end up on it's roof, it will most probably stall, you will have trouble restarting it, you will get frustrated with the whole thing and that will be that!!
With the electric, you charge the battery, put battery into car, turn it on, go round the track, that's it! You therefore have more time to experiment with setting uo your car. Make sense??
