Aero-M Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 All depends what you want. i.e electric or nitro/ petrol. You can get plenty for your budget second hand, but will struggle to get anything that is good new for that sort of money. Do you want to use it for large jumps or just grass/gravel with small jumps?

Aero-M Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 grass gravel and small jumps. I would highly recommend the Team associated Rc10 (B4 or T4) depends on what style your after buggy or trugy. They can be picked up for that sort of money second hand, new they are quite a bit but I have seen one on ebay for £200. which is cheap new, it has been opened. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Team-Associated-T4-RS-Race-Spec-RTR-Truggy-NEW-1-10_W0QQitemZ160361452608QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN?hash=item2556499440&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 I have 28 cars/buggys,trucks, so I have good knowledge to recommend it. To give you an idea I have a 1/5th scale Hpi baja and that goes round a very extreme off road course without damage, There are people using £2000 hormann and laturbacher's that come of the track damaged as they seem rather fragile, but very good on less severe courses. My rc10 t4 race spec can go round the same course without breaking, so it's very strong, I have only ever had to replace one steering turnbuckle and one lower arm on it.
