Default What Truck to buy

I can't decide on a Everest 10 or a Barrage. I will be trail running and mud bogging with it. Any suggestions ?

E10 would get around better on trails and especially in the mud compared to the barrage. My uncle loves his E10, had it a year come Christmas and has only broken 2 body mounts. Or you could pony up another $65 and get the new gen7

Barrage if you want more scale looks. Everest 10 otherwise.

Gen7 Sport has the looks and is cheap at $200; includes a battery and charger to get you started. If you can wait for a deal, keep your eyes on Tower Hobbies as I've seen them as low as $146 shipped. ATM you can get $20-24 ecash which makes it $176:

I recommend you buy the $5 super saver for one year to get the extra $4 back, and then you get more benefits all year long, like free shipping on $10 orders!

The Barrage gets my vote because of scale looks and, more importantly, you get to build the kit yourself.

Barrage with the new PL Zuki body for the win. A friend purchased one for his 5 year old. I can attest the durability.

The E10 is really versatile and easy to mod. BUT, after a few months you'll be looking at Axial et al.
Perhaps scan eBay for a reasonable used SCX10 or Wraith?
I ran my E10 for about 6 months and used it to crawl and trail. One issue is the body lean / roll...
Managed to get decent shocks and wheels / tires on it which transferred over to the SCX10 when I found a barely used cheap auction.
Somehow got near what I paid for the E10 on eBay as well - damn lucky
