consider the traxxas slash too, it can be had in  a brushless version, and has 2 settings, beginner around 30mph, ad second lipo and it runs close to 70. ive conssidered this one several times, but i have most fun with toy stuff........in fact ive got a nitro thats sat on the shelf for 2 years

for the mini harley truck id say thats most probs about 18th scale i dont think you can get 18th scale kits dura traxx and losi does a few 18th scale RTR i think you would have to go for the 18th scale truggy or truck versions i dont think small buggy wheels would suit it but ive never looked around at 18th scale hobby cars before tho
