im looking to spend around $300 for a new toy for my new house at college this year....we have a huge back yard and i was either deciding between a small like 50cc mini bike...or to try my hand at the RC truck thing?

what do you guys think? any other suggestions?

im looking at the traxxas E-Revo...looks pretty nice but a little much.....and i was looking at the baja mini bike DR9 for the opposite end of things

Surely you will get tired of riding a mini bike around in the back yard and it will just sit in the garage?

both would be fun, but I think you may get bored with a mini bike.. As for the RC... I cant get enough of them... Im 33 and have been playing with them since I was 11 (higher end RC's) I take breaks every now and then, but I keep coming back! With a budget of $300, do you want nitro or electric??

I would go for the dirt bike over the rc car. just my .02 I think it would be more fun to actually ride the bike and ramp it or ride wheelies.

Rc nitro trucks and cars are VERY high maintnence. I have owned many nitro cars and trucks and many pocket bikes and pit bikes and i have had way more fun on the small pit bikes.

I vote mini bike...when times get tough you could ride it to class

rc truck will initially cost 300 but constantly need fixing/upgrading if you get into it. get the mini bike be way more fun drunk and shit to play on it and it wont break like the rc truck will when you crash it drunk

i know btw i own many and my roomate also brought his rc heli so we spent a lot on parts and shit

Mini Bike!!!

there both fun as hell but having experience with rc cars, you will end up spending lots of money to maintain and fix em if they brake.

You can also make a homemade one for far less than $300.
