Im definitely open to going with Nitro. I just always thought electric would be easier. That way If I want to run my car I can always count on having a battery. I wont ever need to run out and get fuel.

You said there are batteries for about $22 a piece. Can you share a link to those batteries? I will go with the 2 2S route if they cost that much. Also, if I were to get 2S batteries, could Iuse the same charger to posted a link to?
The other thing Im thinking is this, are there any ready to go kits/packages out there? One that will come with a good started car/truck/buggy, battery, charger and everything else needed? I think that might be the best if it exist that way I can make sure everything Iget will work with eachother.
only things that come in one box is sub standard gear. Most RTR's the battery is only sufficient enough to make it move for a few minutes so the company can claim its ready to run out of the box. The wall chargers the average RTR includes are complete trash (that from me end up straight there), and the batteries honestly last 5 mins (off an 8 hour charge with the included charger... just to point out how junky they are)
as the the $22 a pack batteries(hmm they went up to $24 since I bought em) dunno how they would work in that RC. I've used them in my truggy with no issues
http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...dProduct=14991 that place also sells a pile of other low cost batteries, just make sure you select usa warehouse or shipping gets ridiculously high(well its not ridiculous due to how hazardous most shippers list lipos now which increased shipping cost)
http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...Lipo_Pack.html doesn't look bad wither if you want the 1 battery approach. Just note 95% chance you will either have to change the plug on either the RC, or the battery by soldering a new one on.
Here's another tip if buying from hobbyking don't add it to your cart immediately if you leave the window open on the item you want to purchase the price will drop as a "one time offer" like on the 4S battery the price came down $2 in the time it took me to type this reply lol
Thanks for those links. Im looking at that 4S battery as a possibility. I also have to check the prices at my local hobby store. My concern is what you said about the soldering a new plug. Why would that need to happen? I have soldered in the past, but I wouldnt say Im great at it so that worries me a little.
Oh, and I was readying about LiPo explosions, then Igot kind of freaked out. lol. Is that something that I really have to worry about?
*Edit*
How is this for a starter?
