obviously the op wants a kit, so throw out the traxxas junk.
tamiya makes some really nice kits, but i would not recomend the dt-02 based holiday buggy. i had a dt02 sand viper and while it "looks" like a modern 2wd buggy, it was awfull.
big rm nailed it, if you want a 2wd buggy kit you can't go wrong with the associated b4.
tamiya recently copied the b4 with thier trf201, but it's alot more $$ and not worth it IMO.
tamiya kit's are fun, but limited in what they can do. the b4 is just right, right out of the box. it's a joy to build, modify and run/race.
