Remember, If you buy a bery nice truck like a firestorm, wich costs 261 dollars, you will still need to buy nitro (30 dollars), a fuel bottle (10 dollars) a glo igniter (10 dollars) and after run lube (3 dollars) some extra miscelaneious things like a RX pack (15 dollars) a decent charger (40 dollars, note this charger will charge a pack in less than 20 mins i got a dynamite prophet plus). Remember when you get your first RC, you will need to buy a few things to get it started wich equal 50 bux in total.
but remember, as with any rc, the end result bugging your neighbors, running at 9:00 AM, and pulling off 10 foot jumps.....
Priceless
Good Luck
