I have been thinking about getting a 1/12 scale but i need help. i know nothing about electric cars(i have focused on nitro touring). i have done alot of research but i still have a lot of questions

Basically i have been looking at the Xray Xii(#1 option right now), the Serpent s120, and the AE 12R5.1

i have no experience in 1/12 pan cars what so ever.. i just need a car that will be easy to setup and maintain, that is strong to handle crashes(specially sence im new to the class im expecting alot of those), will be easy to get parts for and its not too expensive.

i also need help with the electronics... im thinking that i would go with a 17.5 brushless motor but i have no idea on what brands, or what motors are good. same thing with the ESC i really dont know.. i have been looking at AE motors and ESC's i really dont know what i should be looking for.

also the battery.. i'm i suppose to go with a lipo 1s, a NiCD, or a NiMH?? How many mAh battry should i be looking for (the higher the better right)

im not looking to spend a fortune on this build, but i want something good that will not put me at a disadvantage next to other racers.

thank you so much for your help in advance.
