Eliminate stadium trucks, great on pavement, and dirt track, or dirt, but horrible in any depth of grass. I own a .18 tamiya tnx and its a 4wd drive monster its awesome in all those conditions not to mention very easy to tune. The mgt from ae is also in that catogory and many people seem to be pleased with it. Like the one guy says ultimatehobbies.com is the place to buy for price, he is right on, on those prices a great deal. The cen nx would be good to, but i would chose the first 2 first. Traxxas can be a little hard to tune, so for a newbie to nitro I would rule them out. Don't get me wrong the revo is a great truck, but the 2.5 or 3.3 can be finicky, plus your price range is much higher, savage is also a good truck but your getting into that higher price range. The AE mgt and tamiya tnx are equals to all for a lot less money.
