Want a Truck
I currently own an HPI RS4 3 (nitro). I love it, but I would like to be able to go nuts off roading now and again. I think I'm sold on the traxxas nitro stampede. I know I want nitro for sure, and want it to be somewhat cheap. The RTR stampede is just under $300 with a radio. Any tips or suggestions?

I looked at the sportmaxx. Looks like it's only 30 bucks more for better suspension and a bigger motor. I may be looking into that one instead. any other tips would be great!

I would also look at the Stadium Maxx.. It has better tires imo, It's $344. at tower but you get $25.00 off now with the special. You can find the Front diff and stuff to make it 4wd later on ebay or RCU for sale spot. I have seen it for all for $30.00 or less.

RE: Want a Truck
I'm looking for something that will be able to handle brute off roading and overall messing around. I wont be hitting jumps or anything like that. So I think i want a bit better ground clearance.
