Welcome to RCU.

First RC, and picking from your list...Traxxas makes a better choice solely for parts support.

I know not a thing about those 1/18 scale RCs that you have listed. I'll let you do the homework on watching video reviews and what not. If I had a choice between a mediocre 1/18 mini 4wd RC and a great 1/10 scale 2wd truck (monster/stadium/short course)...A 1/10 scale wins in my book. I feel a 1/10 scale truck will open much more possibilities in durability, and where a person can drive the RC.

My personal opinion of course, and if I had only $130 to spend on a 4wd mini RC, Traxxas would probably be my first choice.

Also note the DC charger that comes with the Traxxas...The included DC charger will not work with in-house AC outlets unless something like
is used.

Get out there and throw some dirt!
Good luck.
