I know you pm'ed me and I threw some info your way, but in order for the forum to assist in the purchase some general information would be a good start:

1 - Are you looking for something to race or just enjoy bashing around?

2 - If racing, what classes does your track run? If bashing, what types of surfaces do you think you'll be running on (ie: driveway, parking lot, dirt, gravel, grass, construction sites, etc......)?

3 - What is your budget?

4 - Besides the model, what else do you need (ie: radio, receiver, esc, motor, servos)?

5 - What sort of speeds are you looking for? Speed comes with a price... better motors, better batteries, more broken parts. Something reliable around ~30-35mph could be obtainable for much less $$ than something reliable running at 45-50mph.
