This may sound silly as I'm new to this sport but I bought a thunder tiger pheonix bx2 and it's a really easy buggy to use and drives really well. I used to have losi and cougars back in the early days and even though thunder tigers aren't as well known in the racing world there fairly cheap and umbrellas by team associated so spares aren't too hard to get hold of. But I'm one of those people that want to be different to get noticed
