450$ for the truck with or w/o the motor/esc/batt? You're gonna be hard pressed to get motor/esc/lipo alone for this much. And if you want wheelies, slap putty in your center diff. Not really what the truggies were made for though. I'm with glassdoc. CRT is my favorite, but I've seen the mutilators going NEW for under 375$ and you can recover some of that from parting it out. The Losi Muggy has been catching my eye as of late as well but pricey...~ 325$ for the roller.. I got a CRT roller for 200$ on ebay.
