Tamiya. Other brands are out there but for your price range that's what is going to fit the bill.

That's as good as it get for a new one. If you want used check out the forums a www.drccentral.com.

The TA-05 is the same price as the TB, it just comes down to personall preferance. Get a Novak XRS ESC (50), and a good radio, the one I'm planning on is the 2PL FM fromFutaba (85), totla plus the kit is 290. Not bad for a beginner drifter.
