Nothing wrong with a Macnum I'm just saying that not as many people race them around here, Losi 22 and B4.1 are very good cars only thing is that the Losi 22 from what i have been told have alot of oversteer but it's built like a brick s*%t house, if you can afford a B4.1 then go for it as they are very good cars and the kit standard set up should get you going ok.
As for Madrats, mine fared just fine with the "Top brand" cars
