If you're looking for a good 1/8 scale but don't want to break the bank, take a look at the GS Storm Pro. I've been racing 1/8 off-roaders for 8 or 9 years and have had many different cars. I had a new ofna ultra worlds GT - it was worn out after one year. Right now a have a couple of Kyosho MP5s, an MP6, and 2 GS Storm Pros. The Storm pro is about as bullet proof as the kyosho, handles well, and nicely equipped. If you have the coin, you might want to consider an MP7.5, but your best bang for the buck is definitely the GS Storm Pro.

Good luck,
