Best advice right here. Check with your LHS and see what they stock and sell. All cars will break so you want one you can get local parts and support for. Some cars and trucks are more durable than others but the Traxxas vehicles are pretty rugged for bashing and some are great starters into racing as well. Duratrax makes a great product as well but aren't as rugged as the Traxxas but will make better racers out of the box. In the end go with what they sell locally as there will be better parts support.
