Default Differences between Cup Racer & Switch?

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Hello, Iam new to the world of RC cars and have finally found the body I have been waiting for (CRX), on the website where I bought it it says:

</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Wheel Base : 210mm</span> </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Width : 160mm</span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><div class="product-list-text"></div></span></span></div><div class="product-list-text">Fit to</div><div class="product-list-text">Grid</div><div class="product-list-text">Genetic</div><div class="product-list-text">Tamiya M-05</div><div class="product-list-text">HPI Cup Racer (Short Wheelbase)</div><div class="product-list-text">HPI Switch

My roommate however is not new to RC cars as he has around 9. I however only need 1 (well 2 chassis 1 FWD and AWD). I dont plan on doing in races or anything. My roommate says the best brand is HPI and Ishould buy HPI. However I do not know what the difference is between HPICup Racer and HPISwitch. I am fairly sure one is for competitive race tracks and lower to the ground which Idont want because I will be playing with it on parking lots.


Could someone please explain the differences?

-Does the one I need come in both FWD and AWD?

Is he correct about HPI being the best brand?
-If so do they make a carbon fiber chassis?

He says they can all use a brushless motor is this correct?</div></span>
