Default Just getting into the Hobby

I am just getting into RC cars. Mainly doing it for fun but there is a track in town(dirt)
I have a HPI RS4 Pro 3 Electric thats alot of fun in the parking lot...and i have 3 Cheap Smartech Nitro RC cars...all Touring cars.
I am curious on what people would suggest for me, i want to get into Buggies or Trucks and my Spending limit is $400
One buggy i like is the Hurricane XP or the Hurricane Pro because well, i keep reading they are powerful and pretty sturdy.

But i would like to hear suggestions and tips from more experianced RCers.
Thanks!

Are you looking to buy one used or new? They both have a huge variety at different prices.

ive heard redcat racing products are pretty crappy check the forum for redcat and its mostly complaints... i know exactly what i would do get the hyper7 ofna buggy rtr from nitrohouse.com 300 a steal.. only thing is that it comes with a .28 which is technically illegal but if your a club racer then you will be fine...and it would be pretty competitive buggy with the others but not the best...
