The worst thing you can do is come on these forums and ask that question!!! I know you may be thinking 'well i want to know'.
So, what do you do ???? First of all, take a look at Jimmy's reviews on this site.... they are great even for people who have been in the sport/hobby for years. You should get some ideas about something you may fancy... Then try calling a couple of the shops that are around, my advice would be The Raceplace/Team Xtreme or DMS Racing. Both of these are National standard shops who will be honest with what you are after. Also look at local clubs etc... make sure you don't waste your money on something that you will later be unable to upgrade or race (if you are looking to do this) Once you have done all the above im pretty sure you will be happy with your purchase. My personal vote is the Predator X11 08 but there is also the RS version which is for starters.. but this can be upgraded to the 08 version!! Enjoy....

I re entered the sport earlier this year and things had taken a step or two forward since the early nineties.
All i did was log onto this site , suck up some information and listen to what cars are being used. Eventually i didnt go for the obvious choice ( predictable? ) and went for a yok mr4bx for a good price. You pays your money , yous make your choice.

 Are you in the states? or UK? Take a look at all Jimmy's great reviews, and see what you think. Also, take a look around the forum at all the advice and questions about different cars.. see what takes your fancy. Again, my personal choice would be a Predator X11 08 because it's easy to drive, quick, and very strong. There is an RS version coming soon that will be cheaper than the X11 08, so maybe you should wait for this if your budget isn't high enough for an 08? There is also bundles of support from all the team drivers on the forum. now where's lil ben?

Best thing you can do is look for a car you can get spares for easily, that rules out probably three of your choices depending on your local stockists. In most areas in the UK the spares for the Tamiya, Aero and Predator are limited so if that's the same in your area then i'd stay clear and go for a car that you can easily get the spares for and that other drivers of the same standard are driving so you can share set ups. It's ok to follow the best drivers set ups for a base setting but you need to get ideas from people of a similar ability to yourself.

I don't think you can really go wrong with the modern buggys. Personally I love my 501x but unless your willing to carry your own full compliment of spares bough from HK I wouldn't bother with it as it would be a fair bit more hassle.
If I was buying a new car it would probably be the new Cat but simply based on the fact I've owned numerous Schumacher cars in the past and liked them.
