In the price point and if it was me, I'll go with the Hyper ST as my LHS has a ton of spare parts. Best bet is to see what your LHS has in stock as far as spares and take it from there. Buying on-line is usually cheaper, but breaking a part, not having it in your gear box and not being able to find it locally would ruin your fun rather quickly...
honestly it doesn't matter what I buy wen it comes to parts availability because no one sells rc parts around here I mean no one! maybe 2 or 3 nitro cars or trucks but not even fuel I have to order fuel
when it comes to waiting for parts I am accustom to it
I wish someone would open a hobby shop around here they would really make some serious $$
