outside of crawlers/scalers the Losi's are all anyone seems to be running right now. and idk jack squat about them. never driven one, hell iv never seen one in person. the Associated Reflex 14's seemed to be popular for a while. might want to go that route just for driveability. i find the smaller 1/18 scale cars are "twitchy" and easy to crash as they are very light weight and over powered.
