New RC car enthusiast seeking advice
Hello,
I only flew electric planes till now, but I'm interested in buying a nitro buggy, with a cost up to 300 euros.
I was thinking about buying the new Atomic Warhead RC buggy
It seems very decent for its price, what do you experts think? [8D]

Isn't that like $550-600 dollars (ish)?
If so, Id recommend the Habao (Ofna) Hyper 7 buggy. Its a good, durable buggy, especially for the money ($300USD, which Id guess is like 150-200 for you?). I recommend leaving yourself quite a bit of extra at first to get those extras that might make it more enjoyable for you.
Isnt that Atomic buggy 1/10 scale instead of 1/8 scale? I ask because it looks like its a bit more cheaply made than most 1/8 buggies.
Check out the 1/8 buggy forum, though. If you just click through the pages you are almost guaranteed to find at least one "whats a good buggy" thread on each page.

Thats a 1/10th Buggy, Same as Redcat's Tornado BB, You can get it for less then 200$, Still just as durable and great for the money.

Thanks for the answers guys. Since it's my first car (so I'll break it fast!) I'll go for the atomic warhead which is cheap.
I'll experiment first and then try a RedCat one! Cheers!
