Just how important is the racing bit?? If you only mean messing around, then a Sav would be perfect for the jumping and bashing around part.. If you want to get more serious on the racing side, but still do the jumping, etc.., then get a Revo or LST2.. If you're on a budget and want a good all-rounder, get an MGT 4.6.

I'd also strongly recommend sticking with a 1/8 MT, as opposed to anything smaller.. With the bigger MT's you can drive in more kinds of places - most importantly on grass.. With an MT2 forget it.. Even if you say you don't explicitly intend to drive on grass, it's good to be able to.. Go look outside - what do you see most besides pavement?..

1/10 , $300 - CEN NX series. There are like 4 different one. Faster and more durable than HPI www.cenracing.com/rckits.html

$400-$500 - AEW MGT or Losi AfterShake

$500-$600 - CEN GST 7.7

Defintiely do not get a 2WD. you will end up doing nothing but donuts

Racing isnt that important actually i dont know why i put it in there, haha, but I do see lots of dirt outside, and pavement, and grass but i wouldnt do much on on it.
My buddy has a revo and its pretty sweet and quick. Yeah i am on a budget i dont plan on getting one for a little bit, i just got a Miniquake.. and now i want a nitro lol
yeah i planned on getting 4wd.

Sounds like the MGT 4.6 would be right up your alley.. Keep an eye on them and what their prices do.. I don't really know how US pricing works, but here in Germany I've noticed the MTA4 S28(the Thunder Tiger version of the MGT 4.6 - same truck, different name..) has been going down in price.. Not sure, but it MAY have something to so with the fact that they're coming out with a new S50 - as in yes, a .50 size engine(8.33 cm I think..) Sav 25's are really going cheap here(cheap by German standards..)

They do about 35-37.. With a few cheap mods, you can get a little more out of it. It's got plenty of grunt though, I usually don't do high speed runs with mine... If you do go that route, check this site out --> [link=http://monster****rum.com/]Click[/link] then go to the "MGT Pro Tips" section on the left side, tons of cheap and some free mods.. Or, you could just come and ask some of us over in the MGT thread here..

Buggys are fast and cool but if you mainly plan to bash, you might want to go the MT route.. just my opinion though (never owned a buggy and don't really want one either)
