One thing not mentioned, is that after a session involving "dirt", the little bit of nitro won''t be a "mess factor". Electric get muddy too!

Get one of those aluminum drip pans that people use in the oven. You about 3 for $1. Park your vehicle on it when inside.

I prefer buggies, and if price is an issue, then the OFNA Ravager comes to mind. Buggies seem a to have a bit less tendancy to roll over, but they arn''t quite so good at BIG jumps as a MT. If your heart is set for a Monster Truck, I recommend the Savage. But most name brand vehicles are good, and what''s best for one person isn''t necessarily the best for someone else. Best to buy something YOU like.......you will enjoy the maintenance end of it (cleaning it) better that way.
