buy as new as you can afford. There is nothing wrong with the V3 and a lot of the parts you will want to upgrade are the same. One train of thought is to save the money and spend the difference in parts/batteries/etc. If you land a jump badly and break an a-arm, it will be the same a-arm regardless if it is V3 or V4. Personally I like to buy the latest model that is on offer which goes for everything, not just RC
