I'm looking for a CHEAP, durable buggy or monster truck. I will just be using this to play around with, so I don't ned any racing features to be on it. Also I'd like it to look cool[sm=biggrin.gif] Any suggestions?

Do you want electric or Nitro? That is your first question.

Some electric choices you may want to look at:

- Team Losi BK buggy (Team Losi buggies are the best)

- Traxxas Bandit (Low price and durable, but it would be highly advised to change the MSC to an ESC [mechanical speed controller to a electronic speed controller] more effiecient lasts longer ..doesn't have to be re-set less weight etc...just better

- Team Associated B2 Stealth


For Nitro here are a couple:

- CEN fun factor buggy or their ATX buggy

- Duratrax Nitro Evader BX buggy

- Ofna 1/8 scale ultra lx pro


There are a few to check out. Good luck & I hope this helps. Please feel free to check out my site and you may find some things there. Feel free to let me know what you think.

Since you are only driving for sport, it should be better to get electrics. That choice is entirely up to you though. I drive around an electric AE RC10B4 buggy. It is not troublesome at all. My older brother takes it to the track to drive for fun or to race many times and it is great. I recommend that buggy to purchase. It is "cool-looking" and is great for sport driving and racing (if you ever want to).

I think I'd rather get a nitro car and a buggy, but I still haven't decided.
