It's called the Aftershock and it's made by Losi. It's not the best, but it's far from the worst. I'm sure i'll get shot down for saying this but as far as begginer nitro goes, its fantastic. Comes with a decent Radio to boot.
Here's a review from someone who bought one :
colin last April 15, 2007
I got this truck brand new,worked it in and ran a few tanks thru it, than tuned in from there.this truck is solid as a rock,i have bashed it over all kinds of things and it stood up to the punishment. very simple to work on and easy to tune. It does need a pipe change because the stock one isnt very good.the brakes on this truck are amazing!!.over all this truck rock for the money spent,i would recomend to anyone looking to get a 1/8 scale truck.
There's LOADS of Losi support here, and if i'm not mistaken it can be upgraded to LST2 (or near as) spec when the bug bites (which it will, trust me
) and your funds allow.
If your after electric, i haven't got a clue. But my thoughts are Electric is more for onroad and nitro for off. I know thats not the case, but it's the way i've always seen things. Either way you'll have a blast. Have a read around the forums and you'll be more than set to go.
Welcome
