He asked me to find him a Monster truck that he can put a "Gravedigger" body on and play around in the yard, at the beach, at the park etc... He is not interested in racing.

I thought maybe Losi's Aftershock? He likes the idea of Nitro, doesn't have any existing R/C tools or remotes..

I see they make a Gravedigger lexan Body for 1/8th scale trucks.

Think this will be a good buy for him? Its not super expensive either.
You probably want to ask this question in the Monster Truck forum: http://www.rctech.net/forum/monster-trucks-46/

My answer to your question is the Savage. If your buddy wants to build one then the X SS is a perfect kit. If he just wants to pick up and play then the 4.6 or XL are great choices.
