Now I am looking to try it out again w my son, just bashing or rsacing friends, nothing competitive. I want a solid electric platform that will be upgradable over time in 1/8 or 1/10 scale. Possibly even upgrading a chassis from 2wd to 4wd later, if that's even possible.
A kit would be fun but RTR might be more economical?
Is it possible to even consider this and be ALL in at $400 or less?
The only thing I can think of that meets all of your requirements is an Arrma Vorteks/Senton/Granite Boost. 2wd, upgradeable to 4wd, $200 with a cheap battery and charger.
