Axial AX10 not as cheap as the Redcat but it has a lot more upgrades and after market support..
the rs10 XT is $169.99 shipped with battery and charger. it needs upgraded servos(what RTR doesnt) but a pair of good ones is $30 on hobbypartz.com.
i have found used axial ax10's used in the sub $200 range. but it takes awhile to find one.
