Hi Joel,
It's been a few months since this thread was posted. Did you ever pull the trigger on a RTR? For our 10 year wedding anniversary my wife got me this:
XTM Nitro Stadium Truck
My neighbor whose really into the sport picked it out. It's my first ever RC vehicle. With the .18 engine it really hauls and for a RTR has some nice stuff. The coil over shocks are sweet and it's fun to play with the settings. What's nice about the truck is that it can play both on the street and dirt. I have a set of street tires on it as it see's 90% blacktop vs. dirt. We have those rolled curbs in our neighborhood which has saved me from the typical newbie repair bills plus they are great ramps for jumps. Supposedly the truck is good for 45+ mph and after a few straight line WOT runs I believe it. So much fun.
