Quick question about a beginners car.

Choice is between the VBC Lightning and the Xray X12 '15. The VBC is cheaper, but I have no real information about durability. I'm assuming the Xray will be built like a tank as usual, but I'll be up for probably another $80-$100 kit cost.

I thought about 2nd hand but there isn't much of a 1/12th scene in Australia and hence very few cars going on the market.

Thanks for any input.
