By gas I hope you mean nitro... I would go with the savage X or savage X 4.6... hobbypeople had the savy X on sale for $400 RECENTLY, i have one, it is well worth it... I have spent money on cars like the jato, but they are just too easy to break. GO WITH THE SAVAGE!!!

the jato isnt to easy to break lol hes mine............ i was down a 4 lane road infront of my complex and well this happened........... lol but i have new ones on the way

For $400 range, a Monster GT, Aftershock, or Savage would be a good choice. I've got a pair or MGTs and they have been very tough bashing trucks. If you want to pick up parts locally, though, the Savage is probably the way to go. Most hobby shops seem to have a good stock of Savage parts, but limited on the MGT.

a mgt or a aftershock would be my pics for under 400

I started out with a Duratrax Nitro Evader ST. Great starter truck!

Try the new tnx5.2r good truck, also fast!!!!!

HpiDrifter420

the tnx is 500 so how is that under 400? if your going to raise the buget you might as well raise it another 80 bucks and get a lst2

MrN8

Yeah, as much as I like my MGT, the Aftershock is a good first, because you get a nice radio with it. Since I've gotten a Spektrum, I've swapped all my receivers out, because I absolutely hate interference and short range.

SAVAGE X would be perfect... the truck was made to be thrown around!!!

perfect for that price range is clearly the MGT. it's a great basher and a proven winner on the track. you dont see many savages winning races. the MGT is 100 times easier to work on as well.

rob123

Yeah" Your right, His best bet would be the savage x or mgt!!!!![sm=thumbup.gif] OOPS I almost for got to mention the aftershock, that to is under $400.
