I have to say, I have not been impressed with my friend's trophy truggy. It breaks often and seems cheaply made.

I recommend the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3. It is a monster truck by name, but it is based on one of the most rock solid and underappreciated truggies of all time, the ST-1 (you can probably find the ST-1 thread directly below this one at the time of posting). If you put regular truggy wheels and tires on it and increased the gearing a little, you'd have a rock solid truggy. Personally I'd keep it as a monster truck and race it in the monster truck class, where it would OWN. It;s also very reasonably priced for what it is. The electronics will also take 6S batteries when you and your boy are ready (I suggest you run it on 4s until you get the hang of it, it's a very powerful car). Reviews say the thing is literally indestructible. One is sitting in my wishlist at amain as I type this.
