Should I buy a 4x4 Pede?

[lincpimp]

So I was looking at the new pede 4x4...

I want one. Just looking on ebay they are slightly less than 400 shipped. Or I can buy a roller and set it up with the castle sc 2400 mmp system and run 5-6s lipo... That would cost me about 430-450...

So what do you guys think? I do not mind getting the complete truck, as it seems to be a better deal than buying a roller. But will I hate the vxl setup? I would run 3s lipo and leave stock gearing for 45mph or so. I just bash, but this looks like alot of fun, and I always had a soft spot for the old 2wd pedes.
