Default Which Truck/Truggy/Buggy

Well I'm currently on an about, 400$ Budget (Including shipping & starter kit) Which is about, 360-370$

I think that HPI Hellfire looks badass, but I can't afford that.

So give me something that is durable (definately durable), I had this crappy SmartTech truck, pull start broke after second day so I went and bought a new Phantom pr2.2 engine for it, but the servo was a little different but I made the adjustments.

Problem is, my old gas tank had a run-off valve and the new muffler from the phantom engine doesn't have a slot for that.

But oh well that trucks toast,



So guys please suggest online website & links I appreciate it greatly!

I would go for the Matrix TR arena which you can get off ebay for around $400 shipped.

Ok, will do.

Also, can you spare the time to link me to a few online shops.

And comment on a truggy/mt you would suggest for a somewhat beginner.

You can get better than Redcat for $400. Do you know if you want a truggy buggy or truck yet? I personally would go truggy. I have already had a couple MT's and dont think I buy another after watching some truggies run. They are faster and as tough/tougher than mt's.. not to start an argument. The thunder tiger St-1 is also a really nice truggy for the price. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/4504 as you can see in the picture it comes with a glow starter and fuel bottle for $370.

Doesnt get any better than that.
Nice durable truck with a name you can trust, and nice part support.
