Thinking About Going Brushless, need advice

[kalib]

OK I want give brushless a shot, I brought my kid a rustler vxl but I want something a little more substantial for myself. Wanna go 8 scale truggy or buggy. I been looking at some used rollers on ebay but I don't know if that's a good idea. So I need to know some info like, best motor esc combo, best model, battery etc.. my budget is about 450 to 600. I'm not really a racer just want to bash and go fast with my buddies.

Is that $450 - $600 including batteries and charger, or just rig?

Basically the rig but if I could get a whole package around that price that would be sweet!

This buggy is slightly over but it is an RTR kit.

Here's one that's a bit less expensive:

Yeah I've been looking at the Vorza, but I read mixed reviews on it some say its durable some say its not. I have an hpi pule nitro buggy that's been upgraded, and the durability of it is ok not great. The ofna looks interesting and I hear ofna makes tough buggies, gonna do a little homework on that model.
