best bang for the buck offroad vehicle
I'm looking for the best bang for the buck off road vehicle that's built good, and fast. Any suggestions? Something in the $300 range ready to run.
thanks

RE: best bang for the buck offroad vehicle
What kind of off road are you looking to do? For low grass and lots of dirt and some road stuff I'd go with a stadium truck. They will be faster and handle better. For a good fun time go with a Short Course truck (a little slower and heaver to start with). If you want to be able to do some good off roading in most conditions get a monster truck.
My only suggestion is the E-firestorm. Its a great stadium truck. strong as hell too.

x2 really does depend on the kind of off-roading you want to do.
When I was looking for a cheap waterproof off-roader for where I live I picked up a Stampede XL-5 as I wanted the ground clearance for when I hit the local trails.

The track is a dirt track with jumps and all that so what brand and model do you think would be the best?

$200 rtr.
Add a 2s lipo/lipo charger for $100 on hobbypartz.com
Install a larger pinion gear and get 35 or more mph.
The phoenix is a rebranded team associated T3.
Or get a ECX torment ($190 rtr) and install a cheap brushless system ($90) and sell the stock battery ($20) and buy a 2s lipo/charger.
