There is one common 4WD vehical that when you think of off-road always comes up and thats the HPI Savage. If you want a relitively cheap truck that parts are extremely easy to come by, does not break down every day, is easy to work on, and is a load of fun then its the Savage. You can get the SS, X, XL whatever. If you have $500 to spend get the XL its wicked fast comes with a 3 speed transmision you will love it and you can get it for less if you get it second hand.
Good luck on what you get, thats just my .02
Couldn't have said it better myself. the only drawback to the XL is the 5.9 engine. But it will accept any big block engine of your choosing and will take a ton of abuse. I love my XL
