Hi Westy,
I bought a TTR EB4 S2 for my first buggy after coming away from 1/10 scale. Only use it for knocking about in the park with but much better than any 1/10 car i've had. Good quality buggy that does everything i want it to plus my local shop stocks most parts for it which is a big bonus. I was surprised how well it handled on the tarmac even with off road tyres on and full ground clearance.
Whatever you go for you'll enjoy
