IMHO, I think you should consider the SW Turmoil . Im guessing that is one of the SW buggies your shop carries, as you mentioned in your first post.My reasoning here is that I wold guess it would cost less. You should then use what you saved there and get a decent charger, rechargeable receiver pack (if needed, a lot of RTRs are coming with them lately) and a better steering servo. It sounds like your shop supports Horizon, that being said, the JR 8800 or 9000 series servos are an excellent option. The Turmoil is a very durable buggy and would be great to learn with. Either way you choose, get a better steering servo, and take the z590 that they come with, and put that on throttle, in place of the z270.
