Default Recommendations for a 1/18th

What the recommended truck currently? I'm thinking I would like to get one for taking to campus with me to give me something fun to do during my lunch breaks. I'm not looking for anything really high end, but being able to upgrade easily would be great.

Brushless would be great initially, but cheaper is better for the moment, unless it is just an awesome deal

So, any suggestions?

edit:

Looking for a stadium truck, Kit preferred over RTR as I am good on the radio front.

Get any Xray M18T kit and you'll be happy. Another good option would be an Anderson MB4 or MB4 ST kit (identical to the vendetta/ST, but in kit form) from www.rcmart.com. A basic xray m18t kit runs about $120, and the MB4 kit costs $90 + shipping from Hong Kong (~$20), so the cost will be almost the same.

Or a third option would be to go to radio shack and pick up a propulse rtr for $50. They are decent trucks and the price is a steal.

you could try to find an rc18t FT kit also, it isnt anywhere as high end as an xray but parts are very easy to come by and there are tons of hop-ups for them.
Xrays are just awesome but parts availability is a pain unless you live in europe or canada.
