Default What next?

The only car i have now is a savage, which i am hopping up.

I want to get something else so i can bash and race with my friends. Though I don't know what to get. These are what i am thinking about getting, Ofna Ravager Buggy, or HPI MT2 18SS. I will be driving it on a flat offroad area of about 10 acres, and i have a decent size track built to race for fun. Basically bashing. Which do you guys think would be funner to drive? Also are two good choices?

Let me know what you guys think?

I think you should get either a revo or a hellfire, since you have a savage...

The savage is awesome for bashing, i am just looking for something with better handeling for my backyard track.
So, i would have a savage to bash and ride the track, and something else to really go fast on the track.

Get the ofna buggy, its a different driving experience with the buggies. You will enjoy it, ofna makes good buggies and parts are very easy to get for them.

Dude, get ANOTHER Savage!
I have a second Savage strictly for my trusted friends to drive so I have someone else to bash with. It makes good sense, as now you have two like vehicles as far as parts fit, and obviously the knowledge as far as setting them up to be reliable and perform solid. I built me second Savage strictly from Ebay pieces, and it ran me about $400ish (less the engine which I had a spare) , all modded up with the normal hop-ups.
