Truggies
There are some nice RTR truggy offerings like the TTR ST-1, HPI HellFire and Jammin' X1-CRT RTR version if you want an RTR
There are some good Truggy kits like the Jammin' X1-CRT and I believe XRay may be releasing a truggy soon
For the snow I'd go for an MT like a Revo, Savage or TTR EK4

Well it all depends on what you want to use it for. If you are going to just bash and have fun, any one of the RTR Truggies will work well for you. If you want to race, the CRT and LSP are decent models. I have seen the Hellfire and it looks like an ok truck. It is a bit flimsy in my opinion, as well as having 1/10th scale swaybars in a 1/8 scale truck I think HPI could have done a better job with it. The Mayhem wold be a better basher than racer. There are some decent articles in the Truggy forum that would be worth your time to read on the subject, if you get a chance. Take care.

Bashing truggy
It's down to personal choice as this point.
The Revo comes with the (capable) TRX2.5 engine, not my favourite engine, there are some excellent big blocks that just drop straight into the Revo, but the downside is the double investment on the engine.. unless you sell the TRX engine off as new
The X1-CRT is more of a racer than basher, I have the non RTR version. I'm busy experimenting with two engines in the truck, an LTP Z.28 Spec 2 and an RB S7-II .21. The CRT Pro is light for a truggy and is very capable with a .21 engine
