No offense KN7671, but Xray availability sucks. There retail buy in is to high for most small hobby shops to swing, so they just stay away.
For me its about Hot Bodies Cyclone (What I run) Shumacher MI4 or Top Photon. All of those cars have sorta shady parts availability since Hot Bodies parts are scarce, and some hobby shops are not signed up to get Shumacher or Top.
But if Shumacher is close to you Hippie, why not go that route. You can get parts easy then, and thats always nice
Honestly, get a car, and have fun with it
