$265 is pretty modest.
There are afew guys here who have spent bundles on their chassis. Most of mine are close to the $1,000 range. The chassis kits were around $200-300 by themselves, but option/speed/drift parts cost a pretty penny. I also use three LiPos per chassis, which also drives up cost.
TIP
ut the gyro in a mini, if you have one. It will be of better use there. 1/10th scale drifters don't need them, and they can actually be a hindrance to you learning at a faster pace. If the chassis is hard to drift, balance the weight distribution of the chassis out to close to 50/50, front and rear, and that will help it drift better.
