Hi there guys, I am interested to buy a new electric R/c.. I have limited my options into a few models and i would like an oppinion about them....
1) maverick strada DC-S or TC-S ( doesnt really make a difference) -brushless
2)HPI E-10 -brushed
3) vaterra v100-S or v100-C ( could you please explain the difference of those 2 if any? ) -brushed
The retailer i wil buy from suggested either vaterra or E-10 cause he said that they are better chassis and they got more spare parts... Althought it seems stupid in my eyes give the same amount of money and buy a brushed motor when you can get brushless.But still i dont know much about it so any advices will be apriciated...
Thanks.

i think i deciphered the difference between the vaterra models. it seems the 's' is the american bodied models and the 'c' is the nissan bodies,
now, a better question is why the hell does the e10 cost the same as the other 2 in your area. to my knowledge we dont have the mavrick here in the US but it looks quite decent, the e10, on the other hand, doesnt have a very good reputation. i'm not an onroad person (at this time, anyway) so any advice i could give would be purely second hand.

I'd be really scared of the maverick strada DC-S if the E-10 has a better chassis as the E10 can snap just from the torque of a brushed motor lol
I'd go with the Vaterra if I had to choose out of those 3 only.
