Default dual pupose rc car

it being tax time, i plan on using my return for an rc car. the thing is, i'd like something i can run on and off road. there are several good track here in town, and i'd like to be able to race both, as well as play around in the parking lot and dirt. is there a good set up to run both "diciplines" or should i just get two cars? i know buggies can run on road with different tires, but is it worth it to run a buggy? is there a buggy class for street? is it possible to swap suspension components and wheels on a touring car for running on a dirt track and jumping and what not? or would the frame break? any help woud be appreciated.

I would get a monster truck. Maybe a Revo, or a Savage.

i have hpi rs4 3(onroad,touring) and HPI rs4 MT(stadium truck)

i found out that both this car have almost the same setting and part...

example..if u have a MT all u need to do is just chage the A arm ,tyre and shock.then u can run it like normal touring car. then only thing not same is the body post..but u can mod it to acept touring body and also mt body.

about buggy it is the fastest car around..but i dun think they race it on road.

savage is a good truck..almost unbreakable..

but if u think of racing this 2 category it is better to get 2 diff car.

just my opinion.hope this will help u abit

2 cars would be a better thing .. you dont have to inter change parts every time you want race a particular race ...
