High lift would be a good scale noob starter I think.

I think spending the $$ for a highlift is the last thing, but that's just me.

Have you made a list?
Have you built a tube frame yet?

dash?
Seats?
C02 tank

I would research and find what you want and what will work/fit as before you build.

take a look around you will find plenty of threads on scale interior and other tips to get you overwhelmed in your build

I'm starting my super build, starting with custom axles

I sell seats

tlt is popular, it's small, lots of options for scale looking parts

it's all personal preferance
Research and decide on a flavor

Welcome Bud! All I can say is do your research before you build a rig.

Yup scx10 as a starter. there is lots of aftermarket support. then you can build your own then a high lift; or another scx10
