Mate,
If you are considering the mono then I personally think that is a great
place to start.
They are heaps of fun if you get them set up correctly with the COG
etc.
Are you planning on building one? If so, I highly recommend the Wild
Thing that is available in the plans section of this site. What I did
with mine was get the 48 inch plans in the CAD format, took them to a
print shop and asked to have them resized down to 26 inches hull length
and put on 1 piece of paper. Built it from 2mm ply and 3mm balsa
planked with walnut and white ramin. I run an el cheapo 540 brushless
motor/esc combo with 10 Nimh cells for around 40mph.
If you are leaning toward the RTR variety, I have read heaps of good
things on the SV27, they are brushless and in fact the power system is
popular amongst scratch builders as well.
Have a look at this thread, it has some photos of my Wild Thing.
