Over the years ive owned several 4wd cars from a Mr4bx to a B44 and an X-5, but i currently drive a TRF511 and its by far the easiest and fastest car out there to drive.

Spares isn't really an issue as myself (JTmodels) and Rc-lazy keep good stocks and there's plenty of support out there for set-ups e.t.c.

Personally i'd go for the Durango cheap as chips at the minute and very strong yes the alloy parts are exspensive but they don't break and all the plastic parts are cheap and easy to get hold of
