used to have a hpi savage truck, what a money pit. Good fun but always broke when using it.

Also had a plane, was a starter and flew like crap. Ditched that into a riverbed from about 200meteres. Got a better beginner one with larger wings so should be easier to fly but never taken it out, want to make it into a FPV plane.

best starter chopper by far is the blade mcx2.
ive smacked it about the walls more times than enough. the main frame needs replacing now though. will have to dig deep £2.75 lol.
don't use century uk stuff ive wasted a lot with them.
im ready to go up a notch blade msr next.
taking my time going through the proper training before I try to fly my acrobatic 250 class chopper. last time I picked that up I lost control and the rotors took my eyebrow off and my forehead is permanently numb
