for a cheaper route id rather get the traxxas E-MAXX its around 330s ready to run..well u still need batteries and the chargers ..unless your more into crawling then ill get the txt..emaxx is the electric version of the tmaxx ..it has a lot of parts support and hop ups too..
check out ultimatehobbies.com for a cheaper price and i think new world hobbies is cheap too..goodluck
