RE: HPI Vorza Flux HP....VS....REDCAT Backdraft 8E
I had an XTM buggy and I loved it. It was heavy, but tough as heck, and it was built with quality parts. In a way i wish i still had it. You will probably have to get parts online, but I buy almost all my stuff online, and if you do that too(like you said you did), then the XTM will be a great buggy for you.
