4x4 electric
Traxxas Summit. Comes with waterproof electronics out of the box. Not super fast, but tough, waterproof, and they look cool too IMO.

For playing around in mud and water?  The Summit or the Stampede 4x4.  Pretty much anything else you'll have to modify it one way or the other to make it happy in the mud.
