Default Advice on choice of micro

I'm looking to get a micro to have some fun with and potentially race in the future however I am on a strict budget of £100 or less RTR.

I have seen 3 models which I like but know nothing about so would like some advice/pros and cons on the following from those in the know.

1) 1/16th Himoto Trojan

2) 1/18th Maverick ION XB Buggy

3) 1/18th Maverick ION MT Monster Truck

All of the above come RTR with transmitter. Any advice on these or other options would be great.

Most popular cars in the UK Micro National Series are the following, and for good reason, very strong, reliable, easily affordable parts etc.

Losi Mini 8 1/16th Scale Mico

Carisma GT14B/GT14B Pro 1/16th Scale Micro

Hope this helps.

Mark

For £100 you can buy my LWB Lrp shark (it's what mini8's were base on) 3 lipos, 2 motors, 2 shells, 2 spoilers 1 esc three sets of tyres and a shed loads of spares. (only problem is that front of chassis has cracked (regular problem on the LwB sharks) this is fixed with a alloy plate which I made which also adds weight to the front.

raced it for past 2 years and loved it but now I got a mini 8
