Default looking for kit suggestions for a velineon system that needs a home

Hi guys, heres the deal...
looking for 2wd buggy/truggy kit/RTR to upgrade to this system. I want a fairly fast 1/10 scale, preferably 2wd, buggy/truggy vehicle for bashing, 4wd isnt out of the question.
Thanks for any input!

I currently have a Summit, e maxx, wraith, exo terra, and an scx10, so I kinda have the hardcore offroad stuff taken care of!

Losi 22T is my vote, new or old, it matters not. Both are great.

Thought about the HPI WR8? It's a lot of fun I must say.

You can pick them up off ebay running for $40. Why not.. It's a ton of fun. I did an MM5700 in one many years ago. It was basically insane.

kind.
