out of those then the Hyp 7.5. But what you need to say is what your budget is and are you planning to race. If you are then none of them will really be competative enough.
if you want fairly competative and low club level racing end low budget then you can look at a Hyper 8.5Pro, Mugen MBX 5 if you want to race seriously, then Losi8, Hyper9, Kyosho mp9, Team associatted etc etc

The Pro spec versions come with out radio and engines. Because Racers will have there own radio equipment and will fit the engine of there choice. Also the chassis are better developed for racing , ie . they may use carbon parts or CNC Alii components, Big bore shox, u j all round lots of little things that all aid with the cars performance. i varies from manufacturer and model

Losi 8 is a very favoured choice and well and trully tried and tested. But its all about personal choice

if you are thinking about doing some club racing then i would make the investment now. Get your self a car that will be competative at least at club level. National is another Level. Walk before you can Run...lol :D as they say

There are a few Club and National racers on this forum so maybe worth posting a thread in the Rallycross section just saying what is good to run at Club level...will give you an idea as what to get. remember you will need all the bits to run it and required to keep it running aswell.

have fun... :cruising: :cruising:
