. I'm looking for a stadium truck or a buggy (i.e. Traxxas Rustler/Bandit) around the 1/10 size. If you need any more information just ask
Cheers
All depends. If you are going to race take a pass on the ready to run kits and find a decent Losi Eight or Ofna CRT in the for sale section a buy your own electronics and motor. That is 1/8th truggy for above
If you are interested in buggys, same thing, Ofna or Kyosho buggy, cannot go wrong. Plenty of good used ones for sale and you add your own stuff such as motor and electronics. The RTR kits aren't bad if you do not intend to race. I started with an MGT RTR then got got an OFNA CRT and Losi Eight T then Kyosho buggy. Lots of fun, lots of money and even more time. Good luck. Its not like electric my friend, much more needed then batteries. Just warning you
Believe me though, nothin like a fine tuned Nitro engine slamming it hard down the dirt.
