Are you going to be racing, or just bashing it around? I only have 2 RC's myself, but got out of racing last year, since I was busy with some other things. I have a slash and a Losi MT 10, I believe is what it is called. In my opinion they both are great trucks. I am deciding between getting a 1/8th scale buggy or starting out and experimenting with RC planes. They both are fun, but so expensive.
