New to offroad

[Buck_Rodgers]

Hi there, I'd just like to ask for a bit of advice with regards to offroad racing.
I have tried to read up on a few models for offroad and as a relative beginner (Currently race indoors only on carpet track 1/10 and v12 circuit) i fancy having a go off-road.

Now advice i've seen/read so far is that its best to go 2wd as a beginner, 6.5/7.5t brushless. What i'm a little confused about is what model car to go for in order to have a simplistic car, but also being competitive.

The conclusion i've come to so far is a B4FT. That sounds like one of the cheapest and most competitive solutions to me. But is it?

Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
