Nitro gas rc cars, what company is best?

I am going to get a nitro rc car, and have looked on some sites, but there are tons of them. I want a good quality one that is good for a beginner and comes ready to run. It needs to be durable and easy to handle, or repair. I am willing to go with a more expensive one, but would rather get a fairly cheap priced one (like $100-$300) NOT on-road, must be off-road truggy, buggy, truck,baja, or short-course. Nedds to come with starter kit and radio control.
