Help me choose a brushless RC car

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Haven't had anything to do with RC cars since I had a Tamiya Boomerang as a kid in the 80's but have a hankering to make my RC return. I know next to nothing about modern RC cars and some of the technical specs mean very little to me!

I'm looking for something quick, fun and (relatively) hassle free, hence steering clear of nitro and looking at brushless. I want something 4WD, but unsure whether to go for a buggy or more of a 'truggy'. It'll be used just for fun and run on grass/dirt/beach. Looking to spend around £300-400 to get started.

Having looked around, here are a few things that have caught my eye. Any advice/recommendations very much appreciated!

HPI Trophy Truggy (£379)

Or the buggy version (£349)

Thunder Tiger EB4 G3 (£289)

HPI Savage XS Flux (£279)

It looks like HPI are in pole position, but I'm open to suggestions!
