Thanks guys, really helpful and some suggestions I'd not considered. Appreciated.

Thanks - budget is up to £900 from first post

Love both the Associated and Losi buggies, only thing stopping me is they run 4S not 6S - Is 6S so stupid it isn't worth it? If so I'll go for one of them for sure. If 6S is worthwhile I may consider something else. Thanks all

Looking at the Talion actually, had a play on a Truggy and liked it - not sure if it restricts any chance of racing though will check to see if there are people racing them.

Thanks chaps, they run buggy and truggy at the track I mentioned.

So, the title says it all really but here's what I'm looking for, I've only played with Tamiya before (I've got a Hotshot re-re which is fun, updated it to a Velineon motor and ESC and it does go some - will wait to see how long the stock gears last....) I'm really looking for 1/8 size, living in Bucks the only clubs near me race on carpet with micro or touring cars and I'm not over enthused, and a little closer into London there is a good 1/8 scale dirt track with some half decent club racing that I'd like to get into http://www.fairlopcarclub.co.uk/ . Realistically club circuit racing would only be a possible however and no guarantee; what is certain is a lot of bashing on dirt/mud/grass in woods and a local skate park. Things I'm sure of Its got to be electric Its got to bash well and at least be a competitive on a race circuit 1/8 size Things I'd like 4s for racing possibly 6s for silliness! Jumps well Parts not impossible to source Durable Looks good Budget is not really limited if its worth spending more I will, but lets say up to £900 for everything (electronics if its a kit and not RTR - batteries and balance charger - most likely a transmitter too but not essential - basic tools/spares if necessary to buy straight away). I think I'd prefer to stay away from monster trucks and look at buggy/truggy/SCT I've looked at a Vorza but there are quite a few posts about it not being the best on the track, I'm not sure how much I should read into this? Thanks for your help, I'm sure I'm in safe hands!
