If going for trails, maybe try to up your budget a little and get the Axial SCX10 rtr.
It will be a good start for trails.
Re: any advice?

bro, im wanting to buy the dodge ram axial scx10...is it good. Apparently the website states that the AE-5 esc is waterproof and that the servo is water resistant. is there any methods to make sure that it is safe? I have seen people using balloons and is that method good? Also i have seen this truck on taobao at a cheaper price, is it safe an good? (i have a taobao agent) https://world.taobao.com/item/533808427947.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.BcjDZz#detail
thank you very much for helping...sorry im a noob as im new to this

Re: any advice?
Hi!
The SCX10 is great no matter which body.
The ESC and servo are indeed water-resistant out-of-the box. No need to worry about them.
The receiver, however, is not waterproof, but it is mounted in a special box on the chassis. If you want to submerge the truck it will be a good idea to put a balloon around it. Note that balloons need maintenance, as the rubber degrades quickly. You will need to replace it every 6 month to 1 year.
No idea about the legitimacy of the Taobao link. Another alternative is RC Mart (http://www.rcmart.com), which is located in Hong Kong so shipping is usually cheaper than Tower. They have the Dodge RTR for USD 289 right now.
happy buying, Werner
