So I've grown tired of Nitro - simply too much work. Since I'm fairly new to RC , (well, Ive had several years, but with only a T-Maxx 2.5) and completely new to electric, I would like your recommendations.

So, I'm looking for a 1/10 scale low maintenance electric stadium truck at a reasonable price (The reason I don't just get an E-Maxx - looking for preferably under $165 or so.)

So my top two choices now are Associated RC10T4 and Traxxas Rustler (regular, not VXL). At the moment I am leaning towards the Rustler because of the waterproofing and simplicity. Any other suggestions?

Also, batteries. Right now I am thinking Trinity Reference 6 Cell NIMH 4600 mAH - Any other suggestions on this?

I already have a radio - an Airtronics MX-3, so any vehicles that don't come with radios are fine.

Also I am not completely opposed to kits as long as the vehicle is not too complex that I will completely give up.
