Default what to buy? Please everyone read and post a comment

Okay what would you buy (rc truck cars,buggy stuff) right now if it is avalible and at arounf $300.00

I have thought about another E pede or rustler but we have one of both, I thought about a t maxx but rally dont want 4x4, i thought about a E maxx,thought about a Nitro Pede nitro rustler or nitro sport but not sure,
rustler and nitro sport both seem a little out of control type too me. I have seen a nitro rustler in person..

i thought about a Sport maxx but ugh.. not sure. I can get a Sport maxx for $319.00 plus tax.
but then you have to buy the tx batteris and the rx batterys and the one for the ez start and blah blah I just dont know......

should I wait and get a tmaxx later when have more money (but dont really want a 4x4)
or should i get a sport maxx or just not get anything, Im in a mood i want to buy something new, I have eletrics thought ild give nitro a try maybe but I dont know........ help me
what would you do if you was me?

Maybe a Ezilla as well? Lol why don't you want 4wd? extra maintanence? Your gunna have to clean it either way. And i wouldnt worry about trivial things like batteries either, just steal some off another ride.

you won't be dissapointed with the emaxx. It is a set up from a pede in complexity, speed, design but both are great trucks!

The XXX-T is electric (Losi also makes that new brushless truck) and the XXX-NT is nitro-powered.

if i only had $300 to blow, and already had 2 r/c's. i would probably just buy upgrades, parts, batterys, tires or a brushless system for the ones you already have.

If you ever run 4-wheel drive stadium truck you will see how well a tuck can handle. There are about 6 manufactures that make them now and they are gaining in popularity because they do handle so much better then 2-wheel drive. I have both and my 2-wheel drive does not bet run much any more.
