What?, Are you talking about a rally car because I havnt heard of many "off roaders" that have nothing to do with trucks.

A couple guys on here have Rising Storms, they are a four wheel drive buggy. They seem like really tough buggies and look like a lot of fun. I am even thinking about getting one some time. I really like the idea of the fourwheel drive buggy. I would for sure look into one of those. If you look a couple pages back there is a thread on the rising storm that has some pics and stuff.

I think it depend on what you want. The Gator is more of a buggy and the mad bull is...well a mad bull. They are both tough rc's that will probably do what you want them to do. What exactly are you wanting them to do? Just bash in the front yard? Tackle the rocks, stumps and jumps?

Just so you know, you won't really be able to race with those tamiya rc's. If you plan on racing then I would look into the evader bx pro or the losi or associated buggies. The tamiya's are more just for having fun but the others will do both.

The tamiyas are good and tough but they aren't going to be good racers. If you want to race then you will want one of the others. The losi and associated buggies are full out racers. Great rc's. The evader bx pro is a good racer and a good basher. I would go with it. I think you are getting the most bang for the buck. Check your local hobby shops for part though. You want to buy something that has parts available without having to order them. Especially since you are over seas and the parts will take some time coming.

Good luck

You can get the Evader Pro version pre-built for $99.99.

Get one of these and you should be able to dominate your Tamiya drivin' friends.
