Elec A little guidance on first RC car please

Hello all,

New to the forums and am planing to get into the RC hobby.

The more time I spend checking out car reviews and running videos, the more confused I get.
The three types I am considering are buggy, stadium truck and short course truck.
I would like to be able to whip around parking lots powersliding and driving pretty aggressively speed wise without the worry of traction rolling and flipping over while cornering or accelerating.

Most my driving will be on the street and parking lots (90-95%)
The rest of the time, I would be on dirt like a baseball diamond.
I do not plan on running any big jumps although I would like to hit the track.

The only concrete decision I have been able to make is that I would like something that is a brushless 2wd on/off-road car due to fewer parts and less maintanance running on 2s batteries.

Budget is $150-250 (RTR or ARTR and can be used) not including charger and batteries.
Which style off-road car do you enjoy most on the street?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Cheers,

Jon
