HPI and Traxxas have my money right now.. I still have a CEN CT5 touring car, but its just a shelf queen these days. I've been doing alot of touring cars and Brushless Motocycles as of late which I know are big on your side of the pond.. Not a big thing on the east coast of the USA, but I still like to run them.. For my off road thrills, Its Slashes, Tmaxx and Rustlers.. As well as my Baja 1/5th gasser.
