I like building kits more than running them. I leave the running to the kids. I have a Tamiya CR01 for sale (http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...iser-cr01.html) if you are interested. It is not as scale as the SCX10, but it is very capable. I had SCX10, but the kids like running the CR01 better because the SCX10 tips over on turns if you don't slow down.

I just built a RC4WD Gelande 2 D90 kit. With the Tower discount, you can get this cheaper than the SCX10 II. It is much heavier because it's all metal. I don't have the hard body built yet, but it seems more planted than the SCX10.
