Default Newbie help

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 go with the Vaterra, because they look badass. You can always update to LiPO and brushless later.

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.
