Hey guys, I actually can't consider myself as part of the "scene" yet although, I'd like to in a few months

I've been on my friends quad, and I have just a love for things with gas engines,and I feel like it's the time for me to get something, bahaha. I drive nitro r/c cars and would like to start riding a mini atv. I'm saving as we speak, which gives me time to find the right mini quad for me. Hopefully some of you guys can point me in the right direction as in terms of trusted companies as well as good websites and just an all around good quad. I'm looking for something slightly off-roadish to just ride on smooth dirt paths and what not, so if anyone can help that would be great, thanks.
PS, I'm looking to spend no more than 350ish.
