RE: Which 4th RC should I get?
With your budget and driving conditions, the XS is you truck. Just because it is small, doesn't mean it handles like crap. A lot of people judge this truck without even driving it. I have one and can say it will go over anything without issues, and has the low end speed and high end. It is by no means a crawler. Sounds like you need something brushed to prevent cogging of the motor. The XS coggs when at real low speeds.
