Fast!, durable!, offroad!, brushless!, cheap?

I would go for a truggy. Do you have a preference of buying used or new? You can find some killer deals for used truggies now-a-days. If you only want a new one, the Hot Bodies D8T can be had for a good price on Tower Hobbies with the membership discount. Mike (site owner) sells a motor mount for it, and a battery tray. For electronics, to stay on the cheaper side, you can go with the Mamba Monster 2200 system with a 4s lipo pack.
