nasher has some great questions!

because of the vast range of choices, you really need to think about budget and use!


for the $200 - $250 price range, RTR 4WD Stadium Truck;

the Mini LST2 is a great backyard basher with a couple mod's


If you're thinking about 2WD, the Mini T Pro with LiPo's and Brushless really gets some speed!

Mini LST2 all the way!!!
I have one and its probably one of the highest quality 1/18th MT's out there. Very tough[sm=punching.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I would have to recommend the Vendetta ST. It uses a full-size servo, it has a bunch of alloy stock, stress-tech ganentee. Also I have beat the he** our of mine, I'm talking about 10 feet jumps.

My opinion, get a Team Associated RC18. Choose from a buggy, stadium truck or monster truck. They are very durable and parts are readily available. They are pretty fast out of the box and many mods are available if you want to turn it up.

I really hate the hit and miss of micro servos so I have to recommend the vendetta st or a mini quake.
