As for a car after you xx I'd say it depends on your budget all the cars have pros and cons
Schumacher sv2 is fast but brittle and you need a lot of optional parts to get it quick
Losi 22 is strong as a tank but if it rains or you race on indoor slippy floor in winter the car becomes a right handful
Centro is a very fast car but is brittle and expensive and is a bit bodgy as its a conversion car.
Kyosho rb6 is a fantastic car that's tough and fast and has all the adjustability included with the kit without the need to buy a load of optional parts, but at £370 it's not cheap.
The Durango 210 requires you to have a PHD to build it's simply awful diff and has poor part quality and poor instruction manual but when you buy a load of optional extras the car is quick too

Food for thought! Sounds like no car is 'the best one'! I've had a couger 2000 in the past - and loved it. I loved my losi xx too, but it is a lot heavier than the couger I had.
I'm not worried about building the 210, but the dodgy parts and poor diff worries me - is there an upgrade diff?
I've now ordered the electrics, so will give the losi xx a bash when they arrive, and decide on the new car when I've seen a few more racing at Bury, perhaps people might be kind enough to let me take one round the track once?!
