Afternoon all,

I’m keen to treat myself to a new 1/10 scale car as it’s been 20 years since I had one. I want to build it myself so looking at Tamiya.

My key criteria are:-

1. Off road stadium truck or monster truck.
2. Fun to drive.
3. Robust.
4. Will mostly be run on grass or paving slabs in my back garden.

Cost for everything (kit, batteries, charger, radio gear, ESC, etc) to be no more than £250.

My current shortlist.

1. Blitzer Beetle
2. 2016 Blackfoot (worried about weak gearboxes and pinion gears and constantly having the fix things)
3. 2015 Monster Beetle (same worries as above)
4. Blackfoot 3, Bush Devil 2 (not sure if these are still on sale in the UK?)

Any and all advice welcome
