Well where are you going to be racing this car? If it's only for speed, you could take a look at the Traxxas Jato, those are notorious for being fast. Or you could just change the gearing on your rig or get a stronger engine

Watch some vids on youtube, find something that appeals to you. Then we can help you more with brands/models.

i would sometimes race but more car parks n fields than raceing

Yep, need to know what you want the rig to do, but here are some starting points:

If you like the buggy but are looking for 4X4 you might want to start with the Associated RC8T. It is a great truggy (buggy modified to four wheel drive with truck tires, etc.).

If you are looking at MT rigs then I would highly suggest the Losi Aftershock.

On-road look at the HPI RS4.

it is now a choice between Associated RC8T and a savage xl what do you think about the savage is it a good truck

IMO I say the Savage. It's durable and well worth the price. Savage is great for bashing. I wouldn't think it would keep up with truggies though.
With the RC8T, you do get the performance of a buggy and the durability of a truck. If you are going to be racing and bashing then I would go with this.

If you are used to a buggy driving a Savage will feel like a school bus on roids. the RC8T is going to be like your buggy but 3X faster and handle 10X better. The RC8T will not do wheelies where as a Savage will.
Me personally, I'd buy the RC8T RS. It's better made than a Savage and drives like an off road Porsche.
