Need help deciding on new vehicle...revo? XTM RAIL? Muggy/Truggy? - 08.03.2010, 10:38 PM

I am looking for ONE rc vehicle that can be used for all of my rc needs. I definately want a monster based truck as 80% of what I will be doing is offroad bashing (fields/grass/gravel and just general driving around some woods). I do like trying to crawl up wood piles and rock but nothing super hardcore.

I also like to strap on some street shoes, slam the vehicle and do some high speed runs and carve up some asphalt.

Most of all I need a vehicle that is DURABLE so that I am not constantly wrenching. I just bought a house (foreclosure... other hobbies are on the sidelines as working on the POS is a full time job in itself) and when I want to run the truck I want it to RUN!

I purchased a ERBE roller a few months back but never got around to a BL setup for it. I have run BL revo's in the past and LOVE the suspension but sometimes the durability was questionable. So I could buy an MMM combo or RX8 combo or I could sell it to help buy the new vehicle.

The new XTM rail looks very sweet and is near the top of the list BUT I cant find anyone that actually owns one so im a bit worried about dropping the coin without some real reviews.

I would like to be into the setup no more than 500ish total including everything. I have no problems with lightly used stuff and with that price range its probably the only option to still be able to pick up 1 or 2 lipo's.

Sorry for the novel...any ideas are helpful?
