Honestly, I wouldn't put an Odonnell on my list either. They look purdy, but from what I have seen they aren't a very competitive ride. I know I will take a bunch of flack for that, but I just tell it how I see it. I know two guys that got pretty sizable deals with Odnonell, that they dropped because the car wasn't competitive. My top 3 would be Losi, Mugen and HB. In any order. AE makes a nice buggy too. I would stick to those 4.
