Anyway, I am looking for a good electric truck to use while im not running nitro. I want it under 200, relatively quick (whatever you can get for under 200) and most of all, headache free! In other words, a good durable truck. I like the 1/18 itsy bitsy spyder, but have heard its weak. Im up for either 1/10 or 1/18 scale, but am completely new to electrics (other than my planes) so i need suggestions! thanks.
