Default What Desert Vehicle to get?

I work and live in the desert (Iraq[8D])3 months at the time, then I go home (Houston, Tx) for 2 weeks. I want a good Truck to have out here with me.

I have seen plenty of rides but cant seem to make my mind up. I am 29yrs old and love RC. I already have 2 on-road HPI cars (you can see pics in my profile), an RS4-3 18ss with an OS 18TZ and many upgrades and another 18ss with the stage-D drift kit and many mods done to that too[>:].

I have been looking at the Trophy 3.5, Savage's, Hellfire's, FireStorm's, Baja 5B, 5B SS, and the 5T. What best would work out here for me? reminder, the temperatures do reach 140F[]. Will Nitro engines be overheating? or is it too hot for Battery packs or can Brushless engines survive the Heat?

Thanx in advance guys, any help or recomindations will help[:-].
