Cheap Durango 210 RTR or more pricey 210v2 - beginner needs advice please

[NewburyNewbie]

Hi all.

I'm a complete newcomer to 1/10th scale of road. (Done a little mardave gt12 before).

I plan to race on astro / grass at a club and bash around local car park etc.

The durango210 buggy RTR complete with radio/ESC/motor etc is a great price.
But, the v2 advertising suggests it is much better (of course) and costs quite a bit more.

Would the v1 be a false economy, should I go v2?
If yes, what advice can be offered re receiver/ESC/motor etc. Nb I do have an etronix 2.4 stick controller from my mardave to use, havnt tried a wheel controller though so might consider it.

Thanks for your thoughts, would appreciate it if we didn't drift into alternatives discussion too much, thanks!
