Default What to Buy?

Hi,
I am brand new to RC cars/trucks.

I do not know what to buy and need some help.

Here is what I am looking for:

Complete ready to run kit (includes radio)
Will jump over curbs and run through grass
Won't break...or breaks the least of other brands especially after curb jumping
Does about 40 mph (plus or minus a couple)
$400 or less
Will be fun to run on asphalt to race friends


What is the best place to buy your recommendation online?

Thanks for any help,

Bob

bahhahahahahah, you were jokin right?

traxas revo on the other hand is a very good truck, my friend just bought one and im very impressed with it, all you need are batterys for you remote, a 7.2v pack and charger for the starter and some fuel, or if you want the ultimate in durability then go for the savage

The tamyia tnx is a super nice running truck, very fast, easy to start, a beautiful body and great handling. The OS motor is great, starts beatifully and very easy to tune. You can get it for 370.00 The savage is good also, but does not handle as good, I own it also. A cheap rugged alternative would be the Cen Mt 2, 250 to 275. This is one fast and rugged truck, but does not handle as good as the tnx, but you can really beat it hard.
