Please research the site for ideas of what you may like, or go look at a few online retailers to see what options are out there. So many to choose from without you specifying on road, buggy, truggy, monster truck, rock racer.... etc. we won't have a clue what to recommend.

When you say offroad do you mean grass, dirt, sand, mud, rocks, obstacles, trails, or what?
Offroad can mean many different things to different people as its a very vague term.
Also do you want speed, or slow, and steady?
Then there is price range.

Sounds like you in need of a change, and want something a bit different.
2wd or 4wd?
Scale in mind?
I'm gonna shoot from the hip,and say something a lil' bit less top heavy (not that there's anything wrong with having something top heavy ) you want a 1/8 scale buggy or SC truck. Possibly a no nonsense stadium truck or a 4wd SC? So much to choose from.

I would like something that can kick up dirt... I would like the price to be below $500, I was looking at the Axial Yeti... Is it good?

The yeti is a pretty good truck from what i have seen out bashing. I just got done putting together the kit version but am still deciding on electronics before i can run it. My current go to basher is a 2wd slash vxl with the lcg chassis. I really like it but i dont like dealing with traxxas at all. One thing is that the slash is pretty fast so it only takes the blink of an eye to get yourself into trouble lol. kinda +1 on 5th scale but only if you have 2 grand burning a hole in your wallet that you wont miss. Best thing to do is find a truck that you're interested in and spend a couple hours on you tube so you have an idea of what to expect. Good luck with your search!
