The cheaper stuff is as its made for bashing around. But its all pretty much the same plastic really.
Big thing is if you want a kit to
Build or an RTR to just turn on and go? To build get a Tamiya, as an RTR then anything is good tbh. The tamiya XB series are nice and brands like maverick/absima/arrma are cheap no fuss cars and trucks that will take a beating.

Been watching this thread for a while and getting sorely tempted to get a car/buggy.
No prior rc car experience except a cheap monster truck style one from Beatties that broke pretty often when I was hmmm, 6-7ish?
Been watching some youtube vids and stuff too and I'm at the point of wondering whether I go for a WLtoys A959(B) or get a pucker Tamiya something or other off ebay.
Most of the used Tamiya stuff on ebay thats in my budget seems to be missing some parts so not sure if I'll be out of my depth trying to fix it up. Might be half the fun though.
The WLtoys stuff does seem pretty robust, is Tamiya stuff equally so?
