Default your type

it depends on what you plan to do with the car, its no point buying a durango to thrash and bash or to buy maverick strada xb to go racing,and whats your budget?

The most popular ones at the moment are the Durango 410, Schumacher Cat SX3, team associated B44.1 and tamiya Trf 511/502.
All good cars, check your local club and see what's popular and has good parts backup. I have owned all of above except the Tamiya. I find the catSX3 a good all rounder and find it easy to drive. I found the Durango a bit too aggressive for my style. I did like the B44 when I had it, somewhere between the cat and Durango for drive ability for me. Different cars do suit people differently though.
Good luck with what you ultimately go for.

Have a look at the Kyosho Lazer FS2/FS2-sp ... strong, agile, easy to maintain / build / live with, great to drive and reactive enough to setups that you can make it feel however you want (within reason of course).

Not the cheapest but most of my car is around 3 years old including the transmission gears!
