If you had $300 what would you buy with it? I really can't decided which of the following to get:

Mamba Monster Maxx BL setup for my E-Revo

1/16 VXL E-Revo

Sand Fire Dune Buggy Chassis from RC4WD

Definitly the sand fire dune buggy. These polls turn useless, I KNOW that the e revo vxl and the MMM will get the msot votes.

Id get the dune buggy myself.
As long as you have a jato front end and stampede rear end. Because I dont think the chassis comes with it.

I know that the polls are useless..... I am just curious what the majority would do. I will be getting one of the 3 in the next 2 weeks and then another one for my B-day and the last one maybe for Christmas or just because....

Im not sure what the dune buggy thing is but it sounds sweet. I would pass on the mini e-revo, its a good little truck but I got bored with mine fairly quickly and sold it for a Ofna Hyper mini.

A brushless e-revo is also pretty fun

I almost voted for the buggy. I just think $200 is a little much for what you're getting. I'd say get a mini revo or slash. Or a used 1/8 e-revo

My vote is the sandfire buggy... The mini revo is a POS.... i stripped 3 diffs on mine of 4 runs... Its all plastic nothings adjustable just a waste of 300 bucks...

That dune buggy chassis looks cool. How do you get the back end of a stampede and the front end of a jato? Just build them from parts?

Personally, I'd go dune buggy then MMM then 1/16 erevo.

When I first thought about getting the buggy it was $300 for the chassis. I already have a Mini Slash and traded my 1/10 Slash two weeks ago for an E-Revo.

Well I already have a real car and the Baja 5b would be vry impractical for me, seeing that I live in the city with nowhere to run it.

I'm personally not to into the mini scene. I own a few but they are mostly so I can play with my son (he's only 3). So for me it's between a brushless system for what's already a decent vehicle or a brand new, very cool, dune buggy which would be a 10 hour project. I love building so that's just the way I would go.

I agree the mini E-revo or mini slash are just for the bashing crowd, I drove one at my lhs it's ok,
but just not something im into. I mainly have 1/10 scale stuff. I have an RC18T but barley run it.
I got it mainly to aggravate the dogs in the house, my brendel loves it.

i would get a mini hyper ste ($160 without electronics)

that is what i'm getting for my next rc.

i wouldn't get the mmm combo if i were you because you already have one on your flux and you could transfer it to your e-revo in minutes.

What would I do with $300?

I'm thinking sandblasting cabinet, or some other tools to help with parts fabrication.
