Look into a losi buggy. The losi xxxbk2 is a real nice buggy, my friends got one and it's dynamite and also super fast out of the box. You could also go with something like a rc10b. But if you do decide to get a xxxbk2 you won't regreat it.

I own the B4. It is quick right out of the box and can surprisingly take a beating. It also comes with a pretty good ESC.

The price !! LOL Honestly the differences are not very noticeable besides a stock vs modified engine, but if you are going to race you can find better motors than the one that model comes with. I'd go for the cheaper one and buy hop up parts later. You might even want to try ebay. You might find a great deal there or even one that is hopped up for the money your going to spend.

Thankyou...... Ya there not much different. Basicly only thing different is the motor set-up, and thats not much.

I also wanted to add that the Evader BX is VERY VERY close to being a B4. I have a Evader BX and really enjoy it. I admit I'm more a AE fan, but comparing the 2 cars .... the Evader is really a great car. The tranny is practically a clone of the first stealth tranny from AE, but keep in mind that most hop up parts for the Evader are offered by Duratrax and are really limited. The B4 on the other hand has many companies that offer hop ups as well as people that CNC parts for the B4. But even the most modified car is only as good as the driver behind the controller. I can run my Evader just as well as my B4 .... but I have more options with my B4 .... but that wont make it win races ... driving skills and luck are the factors for winning races. If your skills are low ... I would spend the money on this ....

Whoa, another user with a bender avatar!
Great advices too, but it's no surprise really since after all he does have the almighty bender as his avatar.
I also have a BX pro and I'm very happy with it, handling and overall performance. I have a GTB 4.5r in it and it handles the speed remarkably well.
