RE: Thinking 1/8th....
I would look at the cheaper ofna buggies. Also the gsstorm I believe it is, has had some nice reviews and includes a very nice fm radio for not too much money. I shopped around on ebay and got some great deals,a new X-Terminator for less than 300, and a new xs3 radio for like 150. Very happy with both FYI.
Peace
