i like losi and all but i hate the freakin front end push on them and dont like how the parts wear so quick.

if i didnt have to worry about money i would get:

Odonnell (the new SG that suposed to be out in a few weeks)
Mugen
HotBodies (and i run them now)
Xray
Associated
Kyosho MP9
Serpent
Tamiya
Losi

in that order.

The O'donnell is a good car. They aren't the most popular though.

That one looks like a quality piece.

And you've driven all of these cars to make a list like that? Considering you listed an unreleased car as your top choice, I'd take this list with a grain of salt.
