it depends on ur preference

u can start from the lower ends (Maisto being most popular, very easy to find at Jusco, Toys r Us) initial investments starts from around RM100. Hotwheels 1:18's are quite affordable too.

if ur wallet is very thick, go for the higher end models (AutoArt, UT, Kyosho)

and after that, u can do ur own modding

beforehand, grab a copy of Diecast Magazine from ur nearest bookstore or go online at DX, diecastxchange.com

hope that helps.

good luck and have fun!

Hi there..

good to hear of your new found hobby...
if you're into scale model kit (not die-cast) you can try 'scalewiki'...

it can guide you from A to Z
