Default rally car?

what 4wd car/chassis would be my best bet if i wanted to be able to run on pavement and dirt. the drivetrain needs to be able to handle brushless. im going to install my own electronics so id prefer a kit. complete newb when it comes to on-road stuff. ive been looking at the tamiya stuff, but it seems like there is a million different chassis and model numbers.

If your after a Rally Car, you may want to look at Tamiya's TL-01 or DF-01 Buggy Chassis...

The New Porsche Cayenne From Tamiya Runs the DF-01 Chassis and doesn't look too bad and I am pretty confident you could get a Ford Focus shell to sit on it aswell






As for the TL-01





Brushless how ever.... I am not 100% Sure about...

The Tamiy F-150 race truck is cool. It's based on the ta02.

the DF-01 (Cayenne) is basically a TA-02 as well, in my view lots better than the TL-01, due to more ground clearance/CF upgradable chassis, but bear in mind certain hop ups are pricey and rare (metal motor mount and sway bars) in particular.

see here for my DF-01 thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_75...y_df-01/tm.htm
