if your on a budget but still want performance id sell your rolling chassis and get a T4 or B4 from ae.with that chassis and the electronics and such you might make enough for a T4 AND B4. jsut buy one remote and another reciever then you can use the same remote for both R/Cs. or you can get a cheap and crappy nitro,or you can get a lower quality electric like a rustler or evader and hop it up beyond belief.i dont know for sure but i think with about $500 you can make a COMPLETELY aluminum rustler.as long as you dont jump it to high(10 feet or higher) itll be fine with all aluminum cause of how light it is,but id never go all aluminum with a nitro because of the weight of them.i woundnt get acheap nitro though,like a nitro sport or nitro evader,or MT2 from CEN are all really low quality adn i can garanty you will have problems with them.
