Default Help with purchase...

I am about 2 weeks away from making a purchase of an RTR monster truck. I want a truck that won't break the bank (under $400), but will be easily modified/upgraded with better parts/tune ups/etc.

Trucks I've considered:

- Traxxas Nitro Stampede
- XTM Mammoth ST (truggy)
- Warhead EVO (if I can find under $400)

I want to know what everyone thinks...if you were me, what would you buy? Doesn't have to be in the list I made above...

thanks for the information. But, is the Team Associated truck and/or the Stampede able to be modified?
