Default Can you help me pick an electric touring car?

Posted this in the wrong forum so here goes:

Hi all,

I have an E-Maxx and despite lowering it and getting some on-road tires it still likes to flip in the parking lot. I'm thinking about getting a car that was made for the road instead.

The three I was looking at were:

Traxxas 4-Tec
Team Associated TC3
Team Losi XXX-S

I'm a huge Traxxas fan mostly because of the support (I'm new to R/C), but it doesn't seem like the 4-Tec is in line with the other cars. I've done some searching and it seems that even the the TC3 got rated the #1 car some people hate it and think it's poorly constructed. I have to say after calling Team Associated they were arrogant and less then helpful. I did like the fact that theirs was shaft rather than belt (people say shaft is better top speed).

I'm not planning to race, but I want an electric that is fast as possible with the stock RTR version and can corner at full speed without flipping. Can you give me some opinions on the cars listed? Add more if there are others I should consider. I'm basically looking for my E-Maxx speed with stability on road.

Thanks!
