Default Good middle-of-the-road 1/10 touring car?

Hello,

My buggies are coming on nicely, but Barley Mow is just so close and convenient, that I'm looking to run a touring car as well.

My plans to run an old HT-1 are just not practical. The hubs are not tight and cannot be adjusted, which means at higher speeds it's quite simply not going to drive straight. It also has no adjustment, spare parts etc etc.

Finally it's just not designed to take hits, and I would expect to smash parts off it as soon as the 5T motor is put into it.

As such I am looking for a touring car chassis and need some recommendations, things to look for etc.

Budget is about £60 (give or take) so second hand is key. I have all the electrics, wheels etc

The cars I have seen within my price range:
* Ansmann ARE-2 (£30 kit form)
* Xray T1
* Schumacher Mi2
* Associated TC5

Considerations:
Something you can still get parts for if needed
Something which is not easy to break (as in, not notoriously easy to break)
Something which has most of the standard items these days (eg Oil shocks)

So, any knowledge on these cars (and in comparison if you know) would be much appreciated.

I'm leaning towards an Xray T1 to start with as I can use my saddle lipos, however stick lipos are cheap enough.
