What are you planning on using them for? Bashing / racing?

How important is the build experiencs for you as part of the package or are you happy with rtr?

Are you planning to race either or you just want a race level kit?  If racing, then get whatever is popular at the local track, especially if they carry parts support for one.  Given you're in the US that will most likely be the Ae.

I have the Ae B6D and run it on a dirt track.  Its a big 8th / 10th scale outdoor dirt track, not a high grip clay indoor type one.  We run the B6D's because the 6.1 and 6.2 isn't a real dirt car for low grip, bumpy rutted tracks.  They come with a laydown trans, not a standup, and have the gullwing front arms and different shock towers.  The B6D has 3 gear and 4 gear standup options, as well as the flat arms etc.  There is quite a difference between them.

If you are running med-high grip then the 6.2 will work well though.

I have no idea about the Schumacher.  A LHS supplies Schumacher but they don't come to the other club so I stay away.  One guy brought his shiny new Cat L1 to our club, stripped the spur and had to go home.  We all offered spare spurs but the Cat took a strange type and our standard ones weren't compatible...

The AE car is going to be much easier to get parts for in the US.
