New and super affordable ($129) from the folks at ECX is the 1/10 AMP MT.

Inside the box you’ll find the truck (of course), the new style [...]

If there was ever a truck targeted right at bashers it would have to be the ECX Brushless 4WD Circuit with AVC from Horizon Hobby.

Extra tough nylon is used [...]
