you'll probably hear this reply over and over but it does save you some cash and buying a car you dont enjoy as much:
go to the local club you want to run at and ask which is the best suported car. This will mean you have easy access to parts and insider setup knowledge as these modern cars are quite sensitive in their setup.
i drive an xray xb4 at my club, it is bulletproof but not necessarily quicker than other cars. my club mates have helped me set it up so its easy to drive. Xray is really well supported down south.
i do realise that xrays are expensive though!
PR racing make good competitive cars that are much cheaper in kit form and in parts costs. they are based around an xray copy.
if i'm honest, stick with 2wd, you will find an easier learning curve, more people to race against and the base kit will be cheaper.
hope that helps!
