Any of the top brand cars are great cars and can be made to work quite well. If you don't want setup hassle I'd stay with something with a solid rear link or t-bar setup. The CRC, 12R5, and BMIDB12R all have non-adjustable rear links which make setup just a bit easier in the long run. I'm sure the Rev5 is a great car too but you've got 6 suspension links to adjust on that car. Of the mentioned cars I'd have to put in my suggestion for the BMIDB12R as well. On our local outdoor asphault track it is dialed. It's hands down better then any of my previous cars.
