I have not seen any RC that dont have there problems which to a non RCer that would make them all junk
Consider this if you break a Duratrax send the part to the factory and they will replace it for 1 year FREE
Break any of the other 2 and go buy the part
I have owned Traxxas & Associated but not a Duratrax YET
My vote would be take your pick any one of them can make you happy
