Let me think should I spend $700 on a car that will be replaced next month by Kyosho or get a HPI Hellfire which might turn out to be the ultimate 1/8th scale offroad bashing/racing vehicle with money to spare?
Answer is obvious.

Since you said you'd plan on racing, use the $700 to get spares, an engine, etc. An engine will run you $250-$300 anyway so then you'd have $400-$450 left right there. I choose to spend my $$ wisely. A new rc isn't always needed. I own a nitro sedan and 8th onroad which I plan to race in the spring. $700 will come in handy easily.

i sell you my savage 25 for $250, and you still got tons of $$$ to upgrade it and make it a super basher which it already is a really good basher.

Don't waste too much money on V one RRR...
These would not increase your driving skill, they just improve the car's handling.
