What $300 buggy should I get?

A "roller" is a kit that is put together, or close to it, but is missing a speed controller, steering servo, motor, and radio/receiver.
Also, I didn't do research when I bought my first charger, then when I got an1:8 scale and 4s batteries I was pissed the charger I had would only do 3s. So I had to buy another one.

Imho, buying the cheaper stuff is more expensive and frustrating in the long run.
1/8 buggy would be the most fun, but it's also the most expensive.
1/10 buggy is mostly for race tracks, but I recently saw a video of someone bashing with their Traxxas Bandit and it looked pretty fun. It probably won't do grass though.
Maybe a 1/10 stadium truck? They are like 2wd buggies, but with a little more clearance and truck (ish) bodies. If you got something like a brushless rustler you would have everything you needed out of the box, then you could upgrade batteries, charger, etc. as budget permitted.

Well, thanks to you guys, I'm gonna go with the XTM XT2e brushless 1/8 buggy. Thanks for all your help. I will be posting another topic to get into some more smaller details of the buggy.
