I'll probably get flamed for this, but check out the Redcat Volcano EPX. They're cheap, more durable than people give them credit for, and come with everything you need to run for under $200 on eBay. The downside is parts are a little hard to source, and bashing them hard will break them, but that can be said for any manufacturer. I've seen these things in action, and I plan to pick one up eventually.

im not flaming, as I love the volcano epx pro.
But they wont wheely out of the box.

With a 2 or 3s lipo battery they will. But not as well as a truck with a higher center of gravity.

The stampede vxl would do the job better, but it should, as it cost almost $150 more.

Syco, hadnt thought of adding weight to the rear of the wheely king. That would make it wheely much easier. As would a better battery.
true I used a 5000mah NiMh which was pretty heavy compared to the stock 1800mah NiCd they include prolly why mine wheelied with no issues.
