RM500 is a good budget.  My budget per-model is always under RM500 too.  With that you can get ready out of box 1:10 scaler rock crawler/racer WLtoys truck like mine as shown below:

Just go to malaysian shoppee site here: (https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=10428%20rock)
and you'll find that model that fits your budget, they are all the same models as mine under the key word '10428'. Just make sure you bought from reputable vendor and do research first.

Almost double the price of course it's better, and it's quite a bit bigger. Depends what you're looking for.

Its a good buggy but if for the price and 1:14 scale size i'd rather buy full size 1:10 scale branded buggy for the same price like the TAMIYA DT-03 NEO FIGHTER.  I have a 1:14 size buggy at its was kinda akward size to join serious R/C crowds even for bashing especially looking for the right spare parts like tires and etc.

hey man, have you bought your RC? if you are in selangor. PM me. let's bash together  icon_rolleyes.gif
a friend is selling his HSP kutiger rally with brushless combo for RM500.

if you want to play RC. you need to watch lots of videos then decide on what you want.
my first almost true RC is 12428. smaller version of the 10428. love it to bits but I bash it too hard until people also dont want borrow me their kits after seeing what I do to mine. not that I am a great basher. I am just too noob at this  laugh.gif if you like the 10428. just get it,man  thumbsup.gif
I recommend it over the 12428 because you can use vaterra parts.

mega_shok.gif anyone have any idea on how can I put rear sway bar for the 12428?

There's no custom cost since its just kit of un-assembled plastic parts and shipping is below USD$26.  However you'll need to get hint from youtube for the assembly.  You'll need to have your own radio, battery and servo still its cheaper and beneficial long term.  Do not order battery and radio along with the kit else the custom will hold it.  You can buy radio and battery locally.

thanks for the info biggrin.gif

so what type of rc car you are interested in now?
do you like scale?

example of rc car type:
touring car
drift car
pancar
rally car
trophy truck
short course truck
monster truck
buggy
truggy
rock racer

many types to choose from flex.gif
common brands in your budget:
WLToys & Feiyue: parts can last quite a lot of abuse. parts are cheap.
HSP : play within its limits and it will be fine. parts are even easier to get.
WPL : they make crawlers AFAIK. if you like to sit down and tinker with your RC. they are worth it. get the kit and build it yourself  icon_rolleyes.gif
Himoto : cheap yet small. not as durable but lovable to race
*
looking at this:
monster truck
buggy
truggy

i probably will buy the WLTOYS 144001 first, then only will save money to buy Arrma kraton or outcast
