Hpi 3.5 or d8s. I say this because parts are cheaper and the d8s can be upgraded to a hot bodies D8.

HPI baby, new to hobby myself but have purchased the savage 4.6 and the pulse 4.6 love them both stock, over my traxxas and ofna

The D8s is a mad awesome machine, that would be my choice. Although, I do have a OFNA (made by Hobao) Violator 9.5. Bought it new in 2003, still going strong after 7 or so gallons of fuel. Replaced exactly 1 turnbuckle and the gas tank. Durable? Yea, I'd say so.

wat is your carb setting for 3.5 and wat plug do you use

HSN flush with top of housing and LSN is flush with barrel idle i aprox 1mm gap. this is for breakin. mine is broken in and hsn is about 1 and an 8th turns in from flush and low is about 1 turn in. but that is for my area. It with be dif any where you go. As far as plug I primarily use a cold plug on hot days 80 -100 and medium on cooler days 60-- 80 I don't run much below 60 but if I do i'll run a hot plug. I also use oddennel plug they're reliable and cheaper.
