I think with 500 bucks you should be able to find a kick ass 4x4. I would strongly suggest not getting the Stamped 4x4 though. I bought the pede 4x4 thinking it woujld be like the original vxl pede and it was one of the biggest disappointments ive ever had. The truck uses the slash chasis with bigger wheel which mite not be a bad thing but it wasnt what i expected. It just wasnt that fun to drive imo. The motor got extremely hotter that the original Pede due to the large wheel and the extra load it had to pull. It wasnt fast, and i ended up selling it for like 150 to a neighbor.

search around and read up on some reviews and you should end up with a nice rc for that kind of money. I would also look into some kits which i always like better than RTR. I like tha fact that i put it together myself, know the truck inside and out, and with the price of brushless motors/esc nowadays, its never been cheaper to build.

Good luck and let us know how it went.
