Your friends RS4 is an on-road touring car, the Truggy you linked to is an off-road truck and will not do very well on-road at all if that’s what you’re looking for.

Tamiya is a decent brand, but is pricey and not as sturdy as others on the market. I would also go with a different brand of servo like Hitec, Savox, Futaba or JR. AMain has a good selection.

sixtysixduece's 801
Well, my 801XT came today. It was a solid 8 hour build, not including body. I started on it at 5 this afternoon, took a break for dinner, finishing just before 2AM.
It is a really nice truggy!
I'll get more pics up later, just snapped a quick one on my phone to show it's size next to my Prolite. Too tired to do a photo session right now.
If anyone else decides to build one, PM me for some tips. It's pretty straight-forward, but there are a couple idiosyncrasies that it helps to know about beforehand. Also, it took me about 8 hours, but I have a ton of build experience, and I use power drivers. If you haven't done much building and/or will be using regular drivers and hex keys, expect to spend a weekend on this critter. I didn't count, but I'd say it's nothing short of 1,200 individual pieces.

Id just call a local hobby store and ask them. Good chance they know of more than one, likely some backyard tracks around too.

Good call SNG. I met most of the guys from the local tracks at my LHS. They've been a great help in getting things to work like they should both on road and off.
i like on road less clean up. but i mod off road trucks to go onroad. iam not sure i know why.
