The HPI Blitz (not the ESE - the black RTR chassis is less brittle) is probably the toughest of the 2wd SCTs. I've watched Mole2k try to break his, mostly without success. I'm baffled why they don't have a Waterproof Flux version out yet.
The kit 2wd SCTs (SC10 FT, Kyosho, Blitz ESE less so) all look really expensive to me, when the SC10 4x4, an awesome vehicle, costs barely more, and doesn't need a 550 motor (see below).
The Hong Nor SCRT is very cheap, but the heavy drivetrain needs a hefty 550 motor, not ideal if you want to use your existing electrics. This goes for the Hobao and Losi 4wds too.
The Ansmann Core is the only 'correct' size SCT in their range, all the others are fairly short (270mm wheelbase when most SCTs are 310-335mm).
I think CML have the Venom Gambler in their lineup. Not likely to have good support, though.
