Default Getting back into the hobby. Help deciding on rc

hey guys getting back into the hobby. Used to have a 1/16 brushless revo with both 2s and 3s lipos and a mini t Baja. I can’t decide on what to get. Right now I’m looking at a 4x4 slash or 1/16 revo again. It’s mainly going to be a basher, there’s a big field right next to my townhouse and a big wide open pavement road.

I have no brand preference, looks like losi stopped making a lot of the cars they used to make back in the day?

Just came across the losi ten mt brushless at $299. That looks like a great deal too.

Great price indeed! I was getting excited for you.

The Losi mini 8ight has great potential I'm sure. I was rooting for your MT find, but too late at posting. Glad you got over the "what should I get" hump .

After losing all my transmitters, batteries, igniters and other associated equipment, half a front end, 3 bodies, a fuel tank, an MGT 8.0 transmission in a fire, I haven't been near any RC stuff in years. What's left has been sitting on the shelf rotting away. To be honest I was fairly bummed by it all as there was a lot of money, time and effort as well. But, am now too, considering a Losi DBXL to try reignite the flame and get back into it a bit (excuse the pun). Haha. Would be interested in any feedback from DBXL owners.
