Action Hobby have tons of parts in stock. PM is super busy and quite often are out of the most frequently broken parts.
We have three different Traxxas models. They all have unique characteristics. The Stampede does great wheelies, the Rustler is fun to drive fast and do doughnuts and the Slash 4X4 is really fast but doesn't do doughnuts as well because of the 4X4. I would make sure you get Lipo Batteries. They make the cars go way faster than the NiMH batteries and have longer run times as well.
One other thing to consider is getting a model that can be modified. The Rustler has very few options for configuring the suspension, the Stampede more and the Slash a ton of options. If you want to make a custom body some models have very few body styles available if at all.
We've had a lot of fun with these vehicles, even in winter.
