I would consider adding the SH Z car to that list it has kyosho like quality and every bit of performance as the mp9 I say that becuase I rolled the mp9 and IMO the z comes out on top that's just for my driving style also the z is $200 on hobby people or $229 at z car usa don't let the price fool you this is no crappy rtr like kit and is tough as nails. I have not driven any of the cars on your list but there reputaion speaks for themselves and I mean that in a good way the choice is yours what ever you choose enjoy dude
