My friends and I are looking to buy some electric off-road trucks. The thing is, almost all of them look like scaled down monster trucks. I mean, it's cool and all having a truck that can make it through/over ANYTHING, but that's not exactly what we're looking for. Instead of a scaled down monster truck, we're more looking for scaled down real trucks.
So I guess we're not technically looking for all-out crawlers, but certainly not a stadium truck or buggy either. Something for trail riding, basically scaled down 4x4ing/wheeling.
I REALLY like the looks of the new Tamiya Land Cruiser kit, but it's quite a bit above our budget, and doesn't come out until April:
I also like the Tamiya Hummer, but it might not quite be capable enough.
Most of us have other RC vehicles, so we're looking for kits, not RTRs, and we'd really like to keep the costs down, preferably around $150, but could probably go to $200 for the right truck.
I really appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance!
