Main thing is the price range you are looking for and like pro88 said, kit or RTR. Are you going to race or bash?

Take a look at the Caster Racing K8T. Exactly your price and very race capable! There is a thread here on truggy forums with alot of info on them. That is what I run and I love it. Not really going to find another KIT truggy in that price range that comes with what the K8T comes with. All 7075 CNC machined aluminum chassis, 5mm shock towers, 5mm inner hinge pin braces. You can get one for that price at [link]http://holeshothobbies.com[/link] I run with mugens, and ST-RR's, Hypers all day long with no problems at all. You can also go to [link]http://casterracingusa.com[/link] for more info and pics on the there support forums too.

I passed on the 8ight-T and bought a Caster K8T Pro Kit truggy from vnmsgt and not one bit sorry I did. You can have a look see at it on the Official Caster K8T thread here on RCU that vnmsgt started on the truggy. He shows you pics of the truck pretty stripped down so you can get a good look at it's mechanics. Posted some pics of my finished one there as well. Another plus with the Caster is the Caster Racing USA guys are always there to give you a hand. The CasterRacingUSA.com forum is great, you can communicate directly with the Caster guys as well as the Team Drivers for any help or tips you need. The parts warehouse is Stateside and stayed on top of by Cameron. Spare parts and replacements are also quite cheap monitarily speaking. The milled aluminum in the kit truggy looks outstanding, black anodized with milled silver edging. Caster has also developed thier own Big Bore shocks...which are currently in route stateside along with 150cc fuel tanks (comes with a 125cc currently, but 150cc will be the new stock tank). I absolutely love my Caster.

Feel free to visit the CasterRacingUSA forum, I'm sure the CasterUSA guys and Team Drivers would be happy to answer any questions you have.
