thanks to all. i have chosen to go nitro, and we have established the maitnence and clean up part, i only have this last question: my final choices are- savage, t-maxx, and 1/8 buggy (i reconsidered buggy after i was told that they are better bashers than i thought.) i know quite a bit about all three of these, and am looking for opinions and suggestions, including other vehicle suggestions (dont just say "TMAXX ALL THE WAY!", give me something to help me decide). i hope this will be enough info, ask for more if neede.

ps-again, it will be a 50/50 basher/racer and MUST be a 1/8 buggy or MT 1/10-/8 (only classes my club has, exc. truggy)

psps- sorry for the drift off topic, im just eagerly saving for this, and almost have enough money (approx 300-320, but the truck will have to be <270), and im impatient)
