Default starter boxes ???

hello. looking to get a starter box soon and i need a universal one. you know 1/8, 1/10 off road. and i have it narrowed down to 3. first the losi universal box, looks good, but should i trust he universal tag for all 1/10 and 1/8 off roaders, good price, and it looks good. besodes it a losi. 2 the ofna chrome top 12v box it says 1/8,1/10 and i trust that but at horizonhobby.com theres 2 that both say ofna chrome top 1/10,1/8 12v. and ones only $69.00 and the others $99.00. but they both seem tobe the same exact box.and i really like this one. the last is the dynamite quick fire box. this one lookstrustable and i like the looks of it the best. but i dont know about dynamite stuff. i have had some trouble w/ dynamite brand things before, thinking they were a good buy and then the part turning out to be crap. anyway all opinions and suggestions are welcome. thanx, cla

The BEST starter box ever is the Ofna Truggy Box. $95 and forget about buying a box ever again. Dual 775 motors, most boxes only have 1 550 or 1 775. Get that abd be done with it, rather than getting a cheaper box and keep replacing it until you get to the Ofna Truggy Box.

The chrome top is an excellent box.  The $99 one has a power panel in it that isn't really needed.  This box has a very large single (much larger than a 775) motor direct drive to the wheel no belt.
