Vampire,

The Axi 4130/16 sells for $179, the Jeti 77-3 Advance for $189 and the Thunder Power 3S2P 4,200 packs go for $154 each (2 required). Throw in a motor mount, some extra material (battery tray) and you have a grand total of around $750. You do of course need a good LiPo charger (or multiples like I have) and a spare set of battery packs (I have 6) to make it workable (otherwise you do sit and wait)...
