Hey no problem! That is a cool deal that you have though! And by the way, from what I have been reading so far on this forum I suggest you go with the T-maxx. It comes from a company with a great reputation, Parts are easily attained (I dont know about outside the US though...but then... you get the truck itself pretty easily!) It also has a great reputation on these message boards and it seems that the veterans here are most well informed through experience with the truck. From what I have read its problems are few and what problems it may have are easily cured through the experience of veterans. Experience is key. Another feature that I as a newbie am interested in is the easy start. All in all the T-maxx appears to be the best truck for a beginner by far... and not because it is dumbed down and made easy or because performance is lost... it is just the opposite... The truck seems to have been made so well that it is both good for the beginner and it can certainly hold its own and even spank the other trucks when put to the test.

So I would suggest that you use one of those T-Maxx that you can get for such a good deal! Hopefully I'll be getting one soon too!
