I'd get a slash to but you can only lead a horse. I have a 2 wheel drive slash roller I could put together brushed or brushless. And do it totally rtr but 100 won't touch it. 175 brushed maybe. I have one of those spatha sct.they are definitely a beginner rig. But do come with metal dogbones and many aluminum hop ups Available through atomik or Asia tees.

Or buy a new one, but used is 1/2 the price.

Keep watch o Craigslist as mentioned. Used Slash, Stampedes, Bandits , and Rustlers can all be had for 100 to 150. Dont overlook short course trucks like the HPI Blitz, Associated SC10, or a Losi.
DON'T throw away your money on cheap, no name mail order rc trucks or buggies. Materials are inferior and where they cut costs the most is crappy electronics. You can upgrade them all you want but they'll still be inferior th a stock Slash. No local parts support or resale value either. I'm watching a young kid that lives by my folks go through this. His parents bought a cheapie The receiver and esc are one unit and its not working, never did work right. Set screws and such were vibrating out. Always had range problems. Its a 4x4 that was 125 new. Very frustrating for anyone, especially a youngster. He's a very polite and well mannered youngster. Very respectful. He's going to get my old Stampede as a gift if his parents approve. Guess I got off subject but I just can't say enough about avoiding off brand rc stuff. Good luck and have fun with your buying experience!!
