Anybody have experience with nitro rc cars?

For the past like 3 years I have been wanting a rc car. Ever since I was little I always had one. I want to get a nitro powered one but I just can't afford a new one. So I'm thinking that I can possibly find a nice used one for sale. Thing is that I have read that people actually prefer a electric one over a nitro one because all you have to do is charge it, you don't have to mess with a engine and nitro and you also don't have to tune it. I heard tuning it can be a pain in the balls. I can prolly pick one up for like 150 to 200 dollars. It would be my first one, just a toy to jump and run around no racing. I would have to be a 4x4 truck.
