Not racing but??

Just been browsing on line and came across the Subaru Brat by Tamiya, This is what started the hobby for me . I had a couple of Radio Shack RC models with 3mm of flex/suspension and hard plastic "tyres" and then when in was 13 (1985ish) my buddy lent me his Brat for a week .
Never mind the 380 motor ,it was still the fastest rc i had ever drove , real rubber tyres, wheel spin , proper suspension even if it was friction and i think it had a diff providing inside wheel craziness - i was hooked .
i saved my paper round money to get a stock car as they were the cheapest ,but my father put in what i had saved and i got a Lunchbox. WOW . The truck was amazing with a badass top end wheelies and very strong . Forget the short comings of basic suspension and high cof g and it was a 14 year old boys wet dream . Thank you tamiya and Modelsport and i have just returned to the hobby with a Slash 4x4 and am hopping the shit out of it to make it brutal . Thinking of getting my self a "holiday rc for my home in Thailand and have to choose between the brat (540)band the "BOX" ???? Decisions decisions ??
