You can look at the Redcat Tornado or Shockwave at www.redcatracing.com. Then there is the DuraTrax Evader www.duratrax.com/cars/dtxd67.html. CEN is making the ATX2 1/10th but not sure it's out yet http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSWM5&P=0.

There really are not a lot of choices as far as 1/10 nitro buggies go.

redcat is not a great choice i was going maybe 10mph hit a fence and bent a shock and a dogbone seriously they are the wimpiest cars out there lol
 
My Redcat Tornado S30 takes a pretty good beating and I've never "broken" a part.. Lost a dogbone or two, but solved that by adding an o ring in the drive cup.. But high speed cartwheels and jumps gone bad have not done any serious damage.. Somewhere along the way my rear shock tower got tweaked, but a quick twist put it back straight.. They've had some issues with their newewst ultralite series (apparently brittle plastic exploited a design flaw) but they have a replacement program for the weak parts, and have supposedly corrected the problem.. But those are the backdraft and aftershock I think.. No probs with the Tornado S30 1/10 Buggy, or Hurricane XTR 1/8 Buggy, that I'm aware of.. :)
