+1 for a B4.
Your best bet it to buy one second-hand and then dismantle and rebuild. This way you'll know every component and you'll find it easier to perform maintenance.
Again, spares are more easily sought, advice on setup is also in abundance.
Any slop can be shimmed out: I find this really helps. Ultimately it will also decrease the acceleration of wear.
If you're looking to spend money on anything in particular my advice would be to invest in a good ESC, in my opinion this is the one thing that needs to be reliable and it's also the thing that provides most of the performance.
Don't waste your money on shiny things, rather springs and tyres. And just go and have fun racing.
Julius.
