Right, so I was just browsing through the Modelsport UK website when I saw a company I've never seen before called "speed pasion". It turns out they stock a 2WD, BRUSHLESS 1:10 scale buggy only for 129.99! And then all you need is a battery and charger! This is great, but I'm wondering, is it too good to be true? It probably is. If you wanna check it out, Here it is. It looks like a resonable build, but does it have a hidden dark side or something?

Yeah, Fair point about the body shells. I think I'll go for what JasonC said. Although, I've been told that the HPI Blitz is good. I've also heard HPI are bringing out a new waterproof version, so, will the price go rocketing down? But I don't think there's a brushless version. So what do I go for?

Thanks for the advice guys! Now don't get me wrong here, I think the Slash Ultimate 4x4 and the Ansmann CORE SCT look great, but I don't really want to spend 220 quid plus on something I don't really want. I also don't want to get the old E-Firestorm FLUX because it WONT be as tough and, in my opinion, looks ugly. Thanks anyway .

Hi Everyone, I new to the RC car world, and I need help. I want to get a new RC Vehicle after my HBX Rival Bonzer Broke. One of my friends has a HPI E-Firestorm and I think its great. So, I went online and found out that HPI have brought out an updated version, which is tougher and more water proof, and still a reasonable price. I was pretty sure I was going to go for the new E-Firestorm. But then I saw the new FLUX version, and got stuck. The normal updated E-Firestorm is 179 quid, whereas the updated FLUX usually retails around the 249.00 mark. I know this is still cheap, but I really didn't want to spend more than 200 pounds on an RC car. So is the FLUX worth an extra 80 quid? Or even, Do I go for the Traxxas Rustler, or something else? Please help!
