Which Truck/Truggy/Buggy
Well I'm currently on an about, 400$ Budget (Including shipping & starter kit) Which is about, 360-370$
I think that HPI Hellfire looks badass, but I can't afford that.
So give me something that is durable (definately durable), I had this crappy SmartTech truck, pull start broke after second day so I went and bought a new Phantom pr2.2 engine for it, but the servo was a little different but I made the adjustments.
Problem is, my old gas tank had a run-off valve and the new muffler from the phantom engine doesn't have a slot for that.
But oh well that trucks toast,
So guys please suggest online website & links I appreciate it greatly!

Ok, will do.
Also, can you spare the time to link me to a few online shops.
And comment on a truggy/mt you would suggest for a somewhat beginner.

You can get better than Redcat for $400. Do you know if you want a truggy buggy or truck yet? I personally would go truggy. I have already had a couple MT's and dont think I buy another after watching some truggies run. They are faster and as tough/tougher than mt's.. not to start an argument. The thunder tiger St-1 is also a really nice truggy for the price. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/4504 as you can see in the picture it comes with a glow starter and fuel bottle for $370.

Nice durable truck with a name you can trust, and nice part support.
