Mister Sinister

I'll probably get flamed for this, but check out the Redcat Volcano EPX. They're cheap, more durable than people give them credit for, and come with everything you need to run for under $200 on eBay. The downside is parts are a little hard to source, and bashing them hard will break them, but that can be said for any manufacturer. I've seen these things in action, and I plan to pick one up eventually.
