I was at a big hobby-fair yesterday, and stumbled upon the Kyosho DRX Rally car.. Was surprised by the impression of quality, AND the ground clearance... It's actually more like a 1/9, is priced well, and looks like a good call for being able to run off or on-road... Worth a look...

(not a kit though..)

I was running my SC8 today.. VERY fun truck....
