Fine, if all the sponsored drivers are going to reflexively blurt out their own company's latest kit, I'll suggest one from my own perspective - that of the impoverished racer:
FTX Vantage
(either Brushless RTR as it is, or brushed RTR, then ebay the ESC and motor, and buy a brushless setup)
And I'll even provide some reasoning:
It has:
1) Slipper clutch, front CVDs, gear diffs, big bore shocks - good enough to race.
2) CML distribution, so good availability of spares and hop-ups. That beats the Bmax, Tamiyas and FS2 right off, both hard to find spares for. Probably also better than the Ansmann X4/Blizzard, another budget racer candidate.
3) Cheap as chips, less than a third of the other cars mentioned. That beats the DEX410v3, SX3, B44.1.
4) Looks - it's actually rather pretty!
