wow the term out of the box certainly means a lot of different things to different people.
I assume out of the box to mean it runs and you do nothing but plug in batteries.

I don't think you can go wrong with most tanks today unless you buy some really old HL tank off of flea bay.
All of them break - ALL of them, Tamiya, Taigen and Heng Long, Hooben, Mato, VS WSN, Trumpeter/Merit. Even shopping around you can get a deal or you can get burned, Buy new unless it is someone that has a reputation they don't want to lose and for god sakes use Paypal to pay for it so you at least have some protection.
Buy what you like, what looks cool or what Tank you would want to run. NOBODY here can tell you what you want, just prepare yourself for minor repairs and look up the "how to do its" for the modifications you want to make to your tank.
If you have a question like "this part broke", we have all been there and can offer advice on the repair. Don't be afraid to ask.
