Naw, thank you, but I think I would rather go all out and have fun with it. Do you think a decent rock crawler build would be do-able for around (or under) 200? I think that's what I might aim for.

Hardcore RC basher right here. Ive been into rc since I was 8 and I got a rc buggy with a wired control, lol. I was really into nitro power until I bought a Traxxas mini Revo and some lipo batteries. That truck was insane, pulling wheelies at 30+mph, standing backflips, and a top speed over 50mph. I just sold it because it will be cold and crappy for the next 4-5 months here in Michigan. I will be back at it again come spring.

This is a good one for dirt racing, or parking lot fun. It is a SHO 1/8 scale nitro, 4 wheel drive.
This is a great basher, it's tough...and full throttle from a start, will flip it on it's back.
It is an HPI Savage, 1/8 scale 4.6 nitro 4x4
The SHO is a good buggy for the price of an entry level dirt racer.
The HPI is a little pricey, but it is built to take abuse.

I got an XTM Mammoth 4 years ago and still have it to this day, running the original 24.7 motor. There were a lot of people hating on it because it only cost $350 RTR, but its THE fastest damn rc vehicle I own. I just wish it were easier to obtain parts for it.

Ouch! My first Revo ran away once when the throttle/brake servo mechanically froze at full throttle, nailed a fence post full out and managed to pull off two back flips before landing on its lid and threating to detonante its four tires from the rpms! Had a fun time explaining what happened to the fence post holding up the fence between me and my neighbors yard
