Default Traxxas Stampede 2wd brushless vs HPI Savage Flux HP

Hi all!

I am hoping to start a new hobby in rc trucks and need your advice! I am looking to purchase a truck that will bring me years of fun for my son and I. Currently I have an opportunity to purchase one of these cars used:

Option 1- $300
HPI Savage Flux HP about 1 year old. Stock except for metal bumpers and wheelie bar. RTR with 2 Lipo batteries.
Cons- no local hobby shops support HPI and I was told it’s hard to get parts for HPI even online.

Option 2- $300
Traxxas Stampede 2wd. Also about a year old. Upgraded to Castle Creation Sidewinder 3 brushless. Includes 2 lipo batteries, upgraded Futaba transmitter. Lots of parts available locally, but it’s only 2wd.

If it was you, which would you buy? All advice and info are very appreciated!!

All the best!
