If you want a much about, then something a bit bigger than the micro stuff will at least allow you to drive it on some rough ground / grass etc. I don't really think Nitro is that ideal for someone getting into it, they need more looking after and can be frustrating to start and maintain if you're not that 'into' it.
Never owned a traxxas vehicle but the rustler is probably one that'd suit you well. For mucking about a 2wd buggy or truck would be a good idea. 4WD buggys are great but there's more to go wrong - so that's up to you.
I had loads of RC's when I was younger, but I got a tamiya m03 mini a few years ago (around 2000) and played with that for ages, it was awesome and I still have it. Then I bought a losi 2wd buggy used off ebay in 2002 with the intention of just mucking about with it in the woods. It was such a nice buggy that I decided to go try race it and here I am now - not much better! haha.
Anyway, there's loads of choices around, some better for racing, some better for play - just depends what you think you'll want most.
