I have only owned two Arrma cars. A brushed Granite MEGA and a Talion.

I thought the Granite MEGA was junk. Very poor fit, slop everywhere - the worst was over a half inch of play in the steering. I actually sent it back for a refund.

The Talion was the exact opposite. Very nice, well put together. Fun car to drive.

If you can, check out the brushless MEGA in person first. I don't know where it falls on the spectrum of quality.

I can tell you that we have 5 2wd pedes in our house and they are beaten on HARD. 2 of my kids think its just hilarious to smash them head first into each other. All are factory stock except for RPM bumpers and steering knuckles.
