Hiya,

I would if i were you consider a traxxas truck for what you want as it can take a lot more punishment than the other nig named brands. On u tube someone got one to hit over 60mph but youll need some skill to keep it straight at that speed

Obviously its going to be electric so id consider buying the bushless combo if one exists or by a losi motr and speed controller package with something like an 8.5 or 9.5 motor, as they dont need much maintanence as long as kept clean.

Batteries well id also advise buying a lipo battery charger and the batts you can get lipo stick packs with 5000 or 6000 mah so twenty or thirty mins run time if geared right and make sure the esc has the lipo cut off set so the cells dont die as lipo should never be fully discharged. As long as they are left fully charged after use they should be fine and can be left for months without losing any power. No memory on these lipos

duratrax also do good club trucks and then you can spend more on a losi or associated but my own opinion would be traxxas as they cant take a hammering and just keep going. I would advise upgrading the tie rods to titanium
