Dont say HPI Porsche.. The "Porsche" part just refers to the plastic body style and youcan get ANY 200mm body and stick it on the car. That is.. unless porsche makes custom engines for HPI

I understand your need for an onroad car.. but if you wanna bash around I'd seriously consider a stadium truck or a Monster Truck..
Yes theyre more expensive but I say theyre worth it..

I mean come on.. everyone knows a 12 pound truck that can do 40 Mph is more "manly" than a wimpy 3 pound car scurrying around like a roach on speed!!
Ok maybe thats subjective..

All I'm saying is take your time and spend your money wisely!!! DO NO RUSH into a purchase thinking its a good deal.. Its all too easy to buy junk thinking it was a good deal

I Bought the HPI RS4 SS.. it was a blast and the engine was easy to tune.. and it came with a 2 speed.. Not sure how much I paid for it though.. was less than 200. Only thing.. you need electronics.. you can pick up an AM radio for 75 bucks with servos.
Err.. Thats 275.... Now you see the problem with this hobby..lol

Students need not apply?!!

Whatever you buy.. have fun with it
