Default Good choice for 1/5th scale buggy?

I'm looking to buy a petrol buggy/truck for off road bashing.

Wanting something decent quality but not expensive enough to break th bank.

We'res a good place to start?
Something I could upgrade over time to race spec maybe if I ever wanted to start but something strong and quick is really what I'm after.

If anyone has something forsale please let me know running or not.
Thanks.

About £300 mate at a push, IDE rather buy something needing a little work and make it better over time.

£300 for a large scale is a low budget,top race cars cost £5000 to build!.best would be an fg marder,carson attack.avoid mcd unless you have a big wallet to keep them running.marders ok but will never be a race car.,but plenty of parts available and upgrades (if you have the money).avoid the cheapo chinese type cars,build quality is poor.
