i can't decide on a decent 1/10 for brushless

[tashpop]

i'm selling some of my smaller cars and when they're sold i plan on grabbing a 1/10 electric and of course its going to be brushless. what sparked this initial idea was my brothers stampede after he installed the velinium system in it. thing is a blast to drive. i was interesed in either the rustler vxl or bandit vxl just for simple high speed lawn and street bashing. as i'm getting closer, i'm wondering if i should consider other cars. on one hand, traxxas once again made it really easy to get something very cool right out the box. on the other hand, it would cost about the same price to pic up a dark impact kit and use mamba esc and brushless of my choice. steering servo and rx extra of course. i'm sure i'm overlooking a few other canidits with simular pricing also. but the df-03 would give me 4wd which is very nice to have. i do have a emaxx when i really need 4wd though, and local parts support like most areas show full support to traxxas. any thoughts, suggestion, or opinions? i don't plan on getting/making anything a money pit like my emaxx has become.
