I am in the Market for one of these, but I am looking for one with the new traction system. Who traditionally has the best prices online (AU) on these type of units?

I am reasonably set on these, but I am interested to know if people think there is a better unit for the same or less money.. Interests in terms of priority:

1) Tough
2) Brushless
3) Takes LiPO out of the box.
4) Waterproof same as the Traxxas
5) Capable of light racing and bashing.
6) Easy sourcing of parts.

I am ok to consider second hand, so long as it's got the newer TMS system.

Ideally I'd like to find a great priced combo that included a LiPO Battery and a good charger as well, potentially with a spare battery.

I can't speak for everyone, but it sounds like you already know exactly what you want and the small number of people who pass through here each day can't fill that impressive feature list with something else.

So, basically you just want to know where to buy one online within Australia. Well, RC Hobbies who sponsor this site have them for $599. Or visit your local hobby store. They all seem to sell Traxxas vehicles.

Or do some conversion rate calculations and import one.

Just got a new 2s, 40c 3000mha batt. Running 21/86 gears.

The thing still flips over if you are too aggressive with acceleration.

Top speed so far is 58km/h. Using a GPS strapped to it. I reckon it would go faster if I had a longer straight. Have to find a quiet back street I think.
