beginner driver

hey guys. i have been into rcs for a while now but i have never raced. only just bashed them in my free time. i was looking to start racing buggys at my local track. but i cant decided on a good buggy to get.

i work at hobbypeople and we do sell the rc8 but i have heard that once they get one good hard hit to the front stuff just starts to fall apart. we do sell the parts at my work so i can get a good price on everything.

there is alos the new sh z car that metalman was talking about in another thread.

what do you guys think a good beginners buggy would be.
