best straight basher 1/8 buggy, bang for the buck, is the XTM X-Terminator 2.
you get more with the higher end RTR buggies like the 8ight and Turmoil, but they're both at least $200 more than the X-term 2
Metal...nobody has suggested a car that wasn't well-known. just because YOU haven't heard of them doesn't mean that they're not big names. Do some research. XTM is Global Hobbies' house brand, and Sportwerks is Horizon's house brand. Traxxas doesn't make a 1/8 buggy and neither does Associated right now.
