strongest 2wd out there and perfect for returning/racing, cheap and reliable
not much room in them so if buying electrics you have to be selective
if RTR then all good.
I say go to Apex models and get a RTR 22. ideal starter/returner and easily upgraded.
that's my opinion after running a 22 for a long time. just got another for the winter season as great buggy.
as mentioned SC, sadly is not as popular as many of us would like it to be so yes its more a fun class with the odd meeting for them.
