I agree with Mike.
I am a belt nut, but the best all rounder for you would proably be an associated B44. Ok I dont like shaft drives but this one is a great all rounder and easy to keep clean, so no need to have a major rebuild after a rainy event, spares are readily available and not too many upgrades needed to be a contender right out of the box, and setting up is easy as the setups for this buggy can be found easily.
If you choose belts and choose Tamiya then go for the TRF501x or the newer version but the cost is more, as its a much stronger buggy than the Durga. Then again Schumacher which is a much better car even though it looks complex goes like stink, and then there is the best bit, Schumacher still supply spares for the original CAT so spares will be available for quite a long time in the future!
