    I can whole heatedly recommend the Team Associated TC4.  It is a 1/10 scale car with a shaft driven 4WD system and there are tons of available parts and accessories plus hop ups available that will fit it.  Another plus is that you can find great deals for them online used and even if you want a brand new one they are reasonable.

    I have some on-road cars available if you want a higher end car.  I have a Team Associated TC5 in great condition and a XRay T3 also.

    I purchased the TC5 for $190 used and have not run it yet.  It is super clean with only a few minor scuffs on the carbon fiber chassis pan.  You can see the roller here:

    I have put a Speed Passion brushless sensored ESC and motor and a servo in it.  I'd sell the roller for what I paid for it.  If you are interested in the roller with the ESC, motor and servo let me know and I will figure a price for you.

    EDIT: The TC5 is belt driven.

    [/quote]shaft but. I havent seen that one online any more, they have a new line out, and put the price up to a usual $200 $300. I must bought on clearance. I came across it while looking at a rtf fan ducted F16 jet. I think bananahobby.com theres usually links of onsale stuff. If u s
    google long enough ull find the deal your looking for.

    Ok so i searched for u real quick, these were sold out for almost 2years looks like they have more. http://www.RaidenTech.com/1hodrca.html theres 2 driftstars at the bottom the blue one is what i got only $99.70 cant find a better deal plus u can upgarde motor, esc, all 1/10. Bodys 200mm wheelbase, plus when u drift off the plastic from the wheels u'll have a set of grip tires i got mine up to 40 mph with a 7.2 nimah battery, imagin what i could do with brushless and a lipo batt.. this is a good deal, this brand is just not that big in the u.s. but any hobby shop can change that..
