It's a decent car, but the belt stuff really kills me.. after owning and driving it for while now, it seems I always have something slipping somewhere, not matter how much I work on it. I'm really not a fan of belt drives.
Are you just looking for a on-road? Gas? Electric?
I just ordered a TC4 CHEAP! Plan on throwing a mamba max in it to fill my onroad cravings.

ok...this is hard...but not really that hard...i'm stuck between the Street Force and the Raze BX. i was thinking about what you said about the belts and stuff fallin off, and also the nearest big parking lot that i bash at isn't all that smooth, so the sfgp2 whould have a hard time driving around on all the asfault rocks. but i dont think i'm ready to take care of an engine thats twice as big as the one i have now. ALSO...i dont have any big dirt lots ether. so the nearest parking lot is rocky and the nearest dirt lot is only 20ft long.  if only i had a raze BX review....HMMMMMmmmmm.

I didn't even know there was a Raze BX (And I have the inside scoop... usually)
There is an Evader BX... that the one you are talking about?
If you are really looking to get an electric, and want to stick with Duratrax, and don't want the street force, I'd probably take the ST over the BX. Stadium trucks are fun. They look cooler then electric buggies (IMHO) and you can stick 1/10th scale street tires on them. I used to race my RC10 TC3 in a parking lot all the time. We just put street tires on, and had a blast! You can even then still jump ramps and things to keep it exciting.
http://www.duratrax.com/cars/dtxd20.html give it a look.

In about 1 month, the raze ST will be out. It's on my list of things pick up, so I'll have a review of that.. but not sure you want to wait 2 months.

when it comes out it will cost $400! it'll take a couple years for it to get down to the raze buggys price. not saying that i'll NEVER buy it ever. i plan on buying the st after i have a raze, street force, warhead...and a micro-T

It will probably not cost that much.. I'm guessing it will be very close to the buggy price.

Turns out i dont care about brands..i'm no longer just gonna stick with just duratrax,mostly becuz my hobbyshop is almost against duratrax and carrys mabey 2 items from them...there very pro losi so i may start getting losi products from now on,plus i bought a micro desert truck from losi about a month ago,its pretty fast but i want it faster..so beggins project brushless lipo micro! and hopefully i win the warhead evo. if..IF i dont win you should try to get a losi aftershock as the next big prise.
