The problem is that they can cost in excess of $500. No small matter for the average person. However, if you buy them in a kit form, meaning if you are willing to assemble it yourself, it can be a lot more affordable. Getting used to tinkering with them is a good idea, because you can be sure that you will be braking them and you will need to replace some parts.
How do you choose what is best? It depends on the type of terrain that the car will be driven on.

Here are a few different types of RC cars you might want to consider.
On-Road Gas Cars - These are perfect if you are looking to operate mostly in smooth surfaces; use the car around the block/parking lot, a park (smooth surface), or run laps on race tracks. Good Gas Cars include the Himoto Rapida Pro.
Off-Road Gas Buggy - Great if you are looking to perform jumps, and operate in rocky terrains, grassy area, or even smooth surfaces. The off-road gas buggies are versatile and can operate in all types of terrains. ACME-Tech provides RTR buggy kits that are fast and great for beginners.
Off-Road Truck - Similar to the off road buggy. More durable than the buggy, but generally a bit slower. Usually a bit more resistant to crashes, and easy to operate. 1/8 and 1/10 scales are the common scale, although 1/16 scales are becoming quite popular. The main difference is the ground clearance and size. RC Nitro Trucks are extremely popular and tend to be best selling.
