hi man!
definately cut to the chase and buy a kyosho. pretty much every model is good with the exception being the mr01(no servo saver, no brake, high c.o.g.). don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty good but with better options out there like the mr02 (servo saver, brake, lower center of gravity) you’re better off buying once.
you might even want to look into the mr015 (servo saver, brake) or the new ma010 (servo saver, brake, 4wd)
so if you got the bucks, get the new ma010 (drove one today, awesome!). otherwise my pick is the mr02
