Unusual Problem

[kraegar]

Need some advice here. I recently picked up a Savage XL, so I could give Nitro a try. I'm a computer geek who got into RCs on a whim to learn about mechanical stuff, and it's been great fun with the Electrics (mostly an E-Revo I've converted to brushless). Nitro seemed an obvious next step.

Got my Savage two weeks ago. Broke it in, ran it twice now, and I've discovered I'm allergic to Nitro fuel.

I don't want to sink the money into the XL to convert it to brushless, so I think the only choice I have is to sell it and take a loss. I can probably find a local buyer, so we'll see how that goes.

So, the question is, what to replace it? I expect to have a budget around $500. I have three young kids who like to play with them, too. I mostly run in short grass & dirt, limited amounts of pavement.

I was thinking of maybe picking up a pair of slashes, rustlers, or other 2wd trucks so I could race with the kids. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
