Anyone into R/C cars?

If you do a search like that, you will get thousands of results that will be junk.

Ofna has nice dependable and fully upgradable buggy's. The yellow one that I posted above is an MBX R2. HPI and TRAXXAS has nic trucks.

This seems like a good deal on ebay:
Ofna MBX Comp buggy

Take a look at the manufactures sites to see what they have and make a decision on what type you want. Then do a search on ebay for the model.

You might like the 2wd ones, but I would rather have 4wd. Try out a 2wd one first to see if you like them. You can do just about the same with a 2wd that you can with 4wd. It all depends on how it's driven. You won't be able to do rock climbing, but you'll be more than fine in your back yard or a bmx track.

Plus the 2wd's are cheaper to start off with.

The Ofna Ravager or Ultra Comp 2 are sounding really nice right now.

After watching some trucks, buggies and truggies at the track, the buggy just seems so much faster and tighter in the corners. And I did notice the tend to be much more stable in the air. I just wonder if it will still be good for some backyard and construction site bashing.

A buggy will fine as long as it's on a somewhat smooth ground (no huge rocks or obsticles to go over). If your gonna start jumping and climbing stuff, then you might be better off with a truck. A buggy can jump stuff good, But you don't have the ground clearance that you do with a truck. Buggy's are designed for dirt tracks and smooth jumps, not hard and high jumps (although I still do it, I do expect to damage my buggy.) The chassis will eventually bend from bottoming out.
