Personally, I'd look at the 8ight 2.0 RTR buggy from Losi for just a little more. Better radio and the buggy is better (IMO). The 810 is basically the original and it shares the basic same setup as the Losi Ten-T truggy. The 2.0 buggy has a longer chassis and a bit beefier components. Plus it comes with basically everything you need to run. It's what I was going to buy but have decided to stick with 1/8 truggys. My other recommendation is to buy whatever you local hobby shop has parts for. Otherwise, you gotta buy your parts online and wait.
