It's more complicated now than ever bc there are so many good options out there. Now we have Associated RC28R in the mix. I would go with one that is supported the most at Houston RC or what is easier for you to figure out and get parts. For me the MRX and Reflex racing is the most supported in my local area so I tend to lean towards those for parts support as well. Just do some research and you will find the right one within your checklist.
