A lot of it really depends on what you want to do with it and what your budget is. Are you planning on comping with it or just running around in the backyard? Do you like building your truck or would you prefer it to come pre-assembled with everything you need?

I would like to build it myself as this is alot of fun and i also get to know my machine. And it would be to play around no comps but i would like to have a nice machine.

i would like to point you in the direction of almost any thing axial, it was my first one, and i have now built 3 trucks off that platform and love every one of them. there is a few different kits / versions available, if you check out axialraceing.com you can do a chart comparison of what each modle comes with and needs.
