best truggie to start with?

Just make sure you use a radio tray brace. The losi 8 loves to eat servos due to excessive radio tray flex. Keep a close eye on the diffs as well. They will fail pretty easy if they are not in tip top shape. They do handle awesome, i like driving them.

Good to know. I have an updated servo saver installed by the previous owner, and have since put the servo's through hell. A couple rumble strips got added to my local track. The front wheels seem to be pointing in completely different directions across that section, but no problems so far. I set my end points pretty conservatively too. Also rebuilt the diffs last week and didn't see any sign of stress or wear, and I know the truck has survived A LOT of A-Mains... just not under my control
