18th scale don't fare too well on astro turf. The Blaze is probably the best 18th scale platform out there but try and get the truggy version (also known as the Vendetta ST in the US) and then just put a buggy on it if you don't like the truck look. It's wider and more stable so it will handle slightly bigger bumps and tracks.

Alot of people use the truggy but fit a buggy bodyshell to it looks like a buggy but has the wide track of the truggy to make it more stable.

If you stuggle to get an ST version, you can do what I do and run the standard Blaze, but run 4mm offset touring car wheels, does'nt make it as wide as the ST, but it all helps, but I find it easier to get spares for standard buggy. Only had mine a few weeks but I am pretty happy with the way it drives so far.

I think indoors the Xray is pretty sweet but there's no direct buggy body for it if you want to go that route (I might try 'buggy' it sometime)
I do like the look of craig harris' blaze based car, but it would cost a lot more than the Xray to get one the same I think.
