I have been looking and have picked out three i like.
1.Savage X4.6
Good- Suspension travel, Apperently tough, farely cheap
Bad- Single steering servo, Hard to work on, Controller/servos
2. Revo 3.3 for only $250-300
Good- Suspension type, handling,by experience with dad is tough, really cheap( for me)
Bad- Engine,Controller/servos
3.Losi XXL
Good-DX3 Spektrum Radio,waterproof,good servos(for an rtr), Great value
Bad - Price
I like the Losi the most it's just the $670 price tag that is a little intimidating. The revos suspension is amazing,but it has some weak parts, but i can get one for really cheap so they can be replaced. The Savage by what i've heard is really tough, but is a pain to work on,but if it's tough i wont have to work on it as often. The 6" of travel and huge ground clearancesounds sweet to. The losi is expensive, but has farbetter stock parts such as: Engine, Radio, Servos,Tires,Shocks,And many waterproof plastic cases. I was just wondering if i would save money to buy the losi and not worry about it or buy one of the others and upgrade, which may cost even more to make even performance.
