RE: Help to absoulte newbie!
That's up to you. In comparison the brushed is sweet but the brushless is BAD ___!!! The brushless has a few upgrades and is a lot faster. The motor setup on the brushless costs about 300 dollars so there is the price difference. You could buy the brushed one and upgrade later. Or buy a used one and upgrade right away or find a cheap brushless one on ebay. Both are really good trucks but its like comparing dodge viper's. The SRT10 is one of the best sports cars of all time but the ACR X is the best sports car of all time.
