OK I have just been to my local model shop, they told me that hpi would be a very bad choice because I will break it and not be able to get spare parts, but they said I should get the one in their window that was £230 (including glow plug fuel etc.) if you live i the UK you may have seen it advertised on the TV (it is the one that you collect the magazines and build it up). I couldn't see any brand name on it. I really get the impression that they just wanted to sell me things. I asked him if he could get the HPI Rush Evo in stock and he said he wouldn't want to. I am under the impression that he was telling me a load of rubbish.

Also it is payday on the 22nd :-D so I think I will get the following items:
