You are really asking a lot. Any beginner car for that price will most likely disappoint you with a low run time and slow charger.
Truck; http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXDZAX**&P=0
(016DP gets you $20 off)
Now here's where it gets tricky. You have $20 to spend; you can put it towards a battery and run it for longer, but will have to wait very long at least to charge. OR, you can buy a fast charger and have a small battery. "POWER15" also gets you 15% off any order on Atomik RC.

Welcome to RCU.
First thoughts that come into play...Armma like mentioned above or one of the ECX 1/10th scale 2wd brushed platforms. Torment short course trucks and Ruckus monster trucks are $169.99 ... I think the price jumped up 20 bucks since Christmas
...I'm I seeing things? The ECX Circuit stadium truck is $149.99. You can't go totally wrong with either Tower Hobbies or Horizon Hobby. I myself prefer Tower Hobbies for the coupons and the Associated/Axial/Hobbico brands they carry.

Thanks so much!
I know i'm asking a lot but my local hobby shop has an ECX truck ready to run for 159.99.
Also they have a slightly used Traxxas Bandit for 119.99.
Are any of those good
