So I've kinda caught an R/C bug lately. Been looking for a fun radio controlled car to replace the kiddy toy one that I do have. I'm looking for one of those higher end ones, but I don't know what to get. So far i have found a few brands that have some vehicles that look interesting witch are:

Traxxas-got some nice fast looking off road ones
Associated-they have a few nice ones, but not many i like
Tamiya-some cool looking ones, but not sure about the power of them
HPI-have some promising looking ones, and there is a store close to me that does sell them

Some points that i want to make though:

I want an electric one for the sake of price and environmental reasons
Off road would be the best cause I live in a hick town with very little to no paved roads and lots of grassy fields
I'm looking for one that are close to the $3-400 range
They gotta be able to ship them to Canada
Speed, would be nice if they have brushless systems too.
Would be nice if they had RTR (ready to run) models.

I'm not really looking to outright buy one yet, just kinda looking at my options first.
If anyone has any suggestions or such, would be a help.
