It would be mostly for bashing, but I would like to be able to run on a track now and then. I had been thinking about the RC8.2e RTR or SC8.2e, but there seem to be some doubts about the electronics(something about which I have no clue..)

But I've just come across some pretty good deals on the TT trucks - the MT4 G3, ST-4, and E-MTA.

Basically, these are my options, with prices:

1.) AE SC8.2E, €505 shipped.
2.) AE RC8.2E RTR, €495 shipped.
3.) TT MT4 G3 €420 shipped.
4.) TT E-MTA €420 shipped.
5.) TT ST-4 €355 shipped.
6.) AE SC10 RS RTR, €240 shipped, plus €50-60 in RPM arms and bumper. Nice that it's cheaper, but it's still another RC that doesn't share parts with my existing cars.

The TT ST-4 would make sense in that it would be bashable but also decent on a track, if not as good as the AE RC8.2e. It's just so freakin' ugly.. I guess a minus point with the ST-4 is that it too can only run 4S.

Anyway, what do you guys think would be the best investment? I want lots of high-speed passes, running on grass, parking lots, and tracks for breaks between nitro runs, as well as the local park among people out for their Sunday walk..

I'd be keen for all input. Most specifically:

1.) How are the AE Reedy motors in the AE SC8.2e and RC8.2e RTR buggy?
2.) MT4 G3 vs. E-MTA
3.) ST-4 just as good for bashing as the others, but also at least minimally track-worthy?

I should also add, the AE cars have the big advantage in my case in that I already run a nitro SC8, RC8.2, and RC8T, and have lots of parts....

Thanks...
