RE: Question from a n00b
I have to agree with Foxy, you'll have trouble finding a decent brushless setup for $200. The world of RC gets very exciting with brushless.
You might try checking out the RTR (Ready To Run) kits on nitrorcx.com. They sometimes have some brushless RTR kits for cheap. Pretty much any style you're interested in. Short course truck, On Road Drifter, Buggy, Monster Truck, etc.
The advantage they have is they are cheap, cheap, cheap. The disadvantage they might have is they are cheap, cheap, cheap. If they break easily, which is a distinct possibility, then you're stuck ordering parts from nitrorcx.
