DuraTrax Mini Quake???

I'm new to the RC area, but I am interested in the Mini Quake RTR.

Does anyone have any info on this ( i have searched through RC forums and read about it, but do want some specific advice). I am looking to just use it on the road and on a few dirt jumps and gravel. I don't want to be spending much on this, so any info regarding prices and where to purchase it from in Australia would be great!

Also, if you know of an alternate cheaper mini monster truck similar to the Mini Quake which is easier to find in Aus i would appreciate some advice on it.

I just basically want to know is this a good little truck for a first RC to use to bash around with?

thanks in advance
