HI there
For moreso bashing around I'd give a +1 for the short course class, there's a losi strike and a HPI blitz both up on the bay at the mo.
Don't know an awful lot about the losi strike, but am sure quite a few peeps use the blitz for racing, so, could start bashing with the HPI to start and then if you wanted to do in the future use it to race as well
(the one on the bay looks pretty good to me, comes with everything by the looks of it....and no it's not mine)
Pends on what your budget is tho spose, as the losi strike is also near enough rtr, but half the price.
