Heres the deal , gas truck seemd to be the cheapest but the turnout is hit and miss at leisure , goo thing is if you get an assocaited RC10gt you can use alot of parts and all your tires and wheels from the T2 as long as you had the 3/16 axles instead fo the 1/4" axles in the rear .
Monster truck seems to be the class the newer racers are in, good way to start int he hobby , but dont fall for the spend thousands of dollars to makeit really really fast , dirve clean and dont crash and i predict mosnter truck racers will envy you .
Truggy is a fun class , some good drivers and some who have moved up to it from monster truck who are still learning the ropes . Downfall is being highly competitive can get costly and these require more periodic maintaince ,tires are expensive but last a long time .
1/8 buggy is the elite class , most of the hardcare racers run this , alot of guys form back in the radioactive days , most of the cars you buy now are competitive out of the box and it all comes down to drving , lately the competition is fierce and one bobble in a qualifier can knock you down to a lower main . Very fun class and is the best bang for the buck IMHO . A used quality buggy can be found realitively cheap too . Plus a good sport engine for less then 2 bills will be more than adequate indoors and even outdoors . For less than a grand you can have a top of the line car , if you find a used one ,the right tires , good engine and the proper radio gear .
That is probably one of the most accurate summarys that I have read.
