I think the best advice for anyone starting out again is just to go for a 2wd car, probably the B4 simply as it's been around so long, everyone knows it, has spares, or knows how to set it up.
The cost and ease of running can't be beaten with 2wd, the diff will hardly ever need to be touched, the shocks are easy to work on and the car generally works the same everywhere on the same setup.
Tyres aren't so expensive as fronts don't wear out as quick as they will on a 4wd for obvious reasons.... Parts are dead cheap and easy to get.
Also as it's 2wd, you don't need any particularly fast motors or top spec lipo's, just a 7.5 and a couple of cheap or older lipo's will do you absolutely fine as power is neve an issue.
It's a bit of a no brainer to me :-)
