OFNA Lx2e kit. $200 at TowerHobbies. Toro brushless motor/esc for 1/8th scale buggies at Hobbyhot.com ~$160. Yur choice of radio/receiver. Lipos from Hobbyking. I have been recommended these and am waiting to purchase till I have the money. And the minute I have the money, I will be pressing the order button.
I've been hearing a lot of good about the lx2e kits. I'll have to look at those Toro combos, too. Thanks for the suggestion.
