Just got my Micro-T
This thing rules! Up to know my experience with R/C has been ZZ's, Bits & clones, Xmods, and a Mini-Z, and various Radio Shack cars (a PT Cruiser, and a Ferrari made by Nikko(this thing is very fast)). I thought those were all cool, but this is my first taste at a hobby quality (with the possible exception of the Mini-Z) car.
After I got it, I tore open the box, charged the batteries and ran it. It handles much better than any of the above, plus I can run it outside. I used some binders and made some jumps, and the Micro-T flew through those. It's very quick also. I love this thing, but the bad thing about it is now I have a taste for more. I'm looking at 1/18th electrics now. I'm currently looking at Mini-Baja, R18MT, Trinity Blade, and the Propulse. Where does it end? After this I'll probably be in the 1/10 arena, and then looking at Nitro. This is too much fun, but getting expensive.

Haha, you could probably print all that on a shirt and people would buy it and wear it as their OWN story!...It know most of what you wrote was certainly true of my progression into the hobby scales.
I noticed you didn't mention the Epoch though...They're 1/43rd scale and the precision/quality of the car is also top notch (the stock Tx leaves a bit to be desired though...BUT, since it's a TRUE propo vehicle, you can use any 27MHz band Tx...I use my Mini-Z Perfex with it).
If you're definitely going to step up to the 1/18th scale and you're on a tight budget...The Propulse might be a good option.
Good luck with the addiction!

Haha. You're right, I did forget about my Epochs. I have two, and they are among my favorites. They're great out of the box. I guess that's why I forgot about them. I didn't have to do anything to them to make them run great. Unlike most, though, I like the controller. I actually do the reverse and use it to run my mini-z. I like it because it's smaller, and it's easier for me to work with. Yeah, the plastic is cheaper, but I like the action better.

what 1/10 scale are you looking at getting when you get one? when you do get one just watch out for objects you can break something very fast (on the car or anything else)

Well I ended up getting an Mini LST, and this thing is loads of fun. I made a few ramps, and do lots of jumps. I've ran it on a few hiking trails near my house. It' very cool. It's stock right now. There have been reports of differentials, and hexes breaking, but so far I've been ok. I kind of want to keep it stock...until something breaks, but right now I like it. I wouldn't mind a little more speed, but I don't want to add more power just yet. This thing is so much fun, that I haven't really looked at 1/10's yet, although the thought has crossed my mind.
I kinda want to stay electric (less hassle), and what I want to take a look at are the E-Maxx, or the E-Savage, although if I look at Nitro, I'd be looking at the Savage, or LST2. But really the Mini LST is about perfect for me now.
