I know very little about RC stuff but I want to get a buddy of mine who's a real NASCAR fan a nice little gift. Any ideas? Also what kind of radio would be necessary for something like this? Gas or electric?
Need help finding 1/6 scale RC NASCAR with manual transmission

1/6 is too big IMO. That's the sale you get for little kids who are easily impressed by size. The runtime with the regular 9.6v battery will suck. I haven't seen any Nascar RC cars in any case.
If there are touring car bodies, you can spend a few hundred $ on building one for him.

1/8th scale is about 2 feet long and damn fast. Try http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=CBD
Well I figured getting such features in a 1/10 or smaller car wouln't be realistic plus he's one of them size/power=all kinda guys, he'd love it. Anyway I've yet to find something......
If you're extremely handy and have a lot of time and money, buy one of those big ones swtethan saw at Napa and an RC monster truck, build a custom frame, and put the suspension and wheels from the monster truck under the car.
No time but money not too much of an issue. It's not for me but for a guy who would spend time away from his family just to kill time on hobbies.
Quite honestly, I didn't get Nascar at all until I went to a race. Just go once and without explanation you'll agree.

Just to prove that they exist.

The F350 has a 3 speed transmission. Maybe you should get him that. Nascar fans tend to like F350s too! And it even has two solid axles and 4wd.

Most other options would require a lot more time and effort and money. And just incase you didn't know already, these can be dangerous and require maintenance.

This site has some RTR 1/5th scale and they can built to specs as well.
Better have some really deep pockets though. Prices are around $1200-$2500
Would love to get my hands on the all aluminum monster truck, oh and all of them are powered by 2cycle gas motors and will get over 30 minute run times.

These don't have transmissions, but they're the top of the line for NASCAR style r/c.
