Usually I prefer playing with rc helicopters, but when a mate of mine told me he had bought a HBX Rocket Pro over xmas, I started getting an itch!!

Tbh, I didn't really want to spend too much as I'll only be messing about, and probably wouldn't get chance to go out too often. Just looking to mess about on grass, dirt/gravel, etc, small jumps & hill climbs - as I say, general messing about.

I went into my LHS with the intention of picking up a Maverick Atom XT for some cheap fun, as everything I had read said they were great vfm.

Trouble is, they were out of stock, and didn't have much within my budget at 1:10 scale either.

So then I went away and mulled over a Maverick Strada XT Evo, and the LRP Blast S10 TX. They look fairly similar to me, similar spec of components, etc but then, I am a newbie!!

Blast looks to be worth the extra, but would then need a better battery/charger, and as I say, for just messing around I don't know if I want to spend quite that much.

Still mulling it over, but then decided to have a look at second hand options to maybe get a better deal. I don't mind having to do a little TLC if needed!!

I'm thinking that a truggy or truck will the way forward for the sort of stuff I'll be using it on (unless buggy's can easilly be given ground clearance?).

Can anyone recommend some decent cars to look at on the 2nd hand market? So far I've come across rustlers & stampedes pretty cheap, but then I get lost in a world of older Tamiya's, etc that I don't know anything about!!!
