Looking for a good truggy to convert

Looking to do my first conversion. I have decided I want a truggy, but with so many different ones, I'm having some trouble choosing one. I was looking at a used Losi 8ight-t (1.0?), Multilator, Thunder tiger St-1, and Jammin X1 CRT. Looking for something that is fairly popular in the conversion world so that I will be able to get help later on if I need it. (gearing, bodies, tires, etc). I am on a fairly low budget. I have 2 2s 3300 mah 25C packs that I was planning on using. Just looking for some advise as to what truggies give the most bang for their buck, which were good for conversions, etc. I was looking some where near $200-$250 new/used. I could get a ST-1 for $300, and after selling the engine, that would put me at around $200 for a brand new roller. Haven't decided on the power system yet, would love to have a MMM, but not enough cash for that. Probably a budget setup (8xl, or something similar).

Let me know your guy's take.

Thanks,
Travis
