Pretty much the Mugen and Kyosho are the top 2, the Mugen seems to be a little more durable and is much cheaper. I do not recommend getting a used one, buy a kit, build it, and you will learn the hobby faster, ask for tips on assembly and life will be good. Mugen used to make a standard version og the 5t, which is what I run except for a few beefed up parts, mainly for ease of maintaince. The OS vspec seems to be the engine of choice at LH and pretty much everywhere else. IF you are gonna race truggy be sure to have a powerful steering servo. Panther C compound BOAs are the tire most run inside and work outside as well, the new Low profile version seems to be even better.
