I know what you are saying as they are a pretty common "what's the best current car" type thing. But at the end of the day, if me spending 1 minute typing a response gets someone back into the hobby i see it as time well spent.
hi jim,
granted, i would happily help someone into the hobby and often do but there is a lot of these threads about.
if you look on the first page of "general car talk" only 5 or 6 threads down from this one there is another "which 1/10th Electric 4WD buggy???"
i admit, i am a frequent user of the site and have noticed these threads, having read them myself, and that is the main reason i know they are about. but if i didnt know they were there i would look through the lists of threads before posting one myself, which i have done in the past about problems i have had with cars/components.

but anyway.. back to the matter in hand.
http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5949 that will probably be a good read. i would suggest a bj4we as they are strong, they look good, i think parts are interchangable with the b44 [apart from front shock towers correct me if im wrong], it handles well and there are heplful team drivers on hand to hel[ if need be .

the best thing to do when looking for a new car is to go down to your local club and see what everybody is running there. as then spare parts are readily available and setup help is also at hand. it is completely down to personal preference on which car you buy as some suit people better than others.

hope this helps you
cheers
