Ive been trying to stay away from exceed,redcat etc....
but stumbled across the 1/6 scale redcat shredder series for $250 minus batteries.
Ive read nothing but good about them,squidrc has a vid where he jumped them off roofs and couldnt break them. Brushless 4wd 1/6 for $250.
Only complaint ive read is a brittle body but could line the inside with aluminum ducting tape.
I dont like the low profile tires either but looks like any 17mm hex tire should fit.
anyone have experience with these?
its either this or the blitz i think.

Is your limit $300? You can pickup new the AE RC10RS Brushless for that price. Or even continue looking at 2nd hand ones.

Just my $0.02 but I think you'll have more fun with a 4x4, especially being a MT you'll appreciate the extra traction when you're zipping through grass and bumpier terrain. However, with the right tires a 2wd can still be pretty capable and it will make you a better driver.
I started out with a 4wd, and when I got my first 2wd I really had to back up and learn how to use a little more throttle control and finesse with the steering and throttle all around.
If you want to get it for the cheapest amount possible I'd highly recommend getting it from Tower and joining the super saver club. It's $9.95 for one year but it will end up paying for itself. You get free shipping on orders over 99 bucks, plus they send you coupon codes that are usually an extra 5 or 6% off compared to the standard coupon codes. I just looked and it would be $379 for the Stampede 4x4 VXL with the membership which is a lot cheaper than you'll find on ebay most likely.
