Right now the best value is Nutech and that is only because they are on sale. Both the buggy form and MT. 649 for the buggy at
www.nutechracingusa.com (called the SandStorm The body is disgustingly ugly) and the Mega Monster truck for 800 at
www.vancouverhobbies.com and it comes with front CVDs!!! Thats a good deal and fixes some of the turning radius issues because of the CVD. Both models come with CY motors (good).
