Well currently have a proline Racerunner! I like offroad but there isnt much in this area as far as a track. Mostly asphalt parking lots etc etc. Added the 5b and 5t becuase I see that they are popular here with the local bashers! Parts availability is fine for HPI and MCD isn't bad either! I am leaning towards the Baja 1000 ultimate and the Rally car. I like them both equally. Not sure about the differences with the rally and rally gravel kit though! I'm guessing the rally gravel is better suited for some offroad applications!

Since you already have a MCD Race Runner (which is basically a Baja 1000), I would go with a Redcat Rampage MT or Buggy.

Ant, have you given any thought to an on-road? We run them every weekend in Ronkonkoma, and when we're not there we're in Maryland racing in a points series. With the new Vette body due out any day now, you should really give it some thought. Come down one day and check out the cars. I'm sure someone will let you have a test drive![8D]

Sorry but I forgot to mention the HPI Baja 5T, for $1200 you are ready to rock and it is a kick azz truck.
