I want to get a couple nitro buggies for about $150 to $200 each, for christmas so my brother and I can race them around. I've been looking at online stores through google for about an hour now and it seems like every store I run into has poor reviews about order mismanagement. A couple of questions:

1. What is a good store Ican order a nitro RTRbuggy from that won't rip me off? We've used towerhobbies.com before for RCairplanes but it looks more expensive compared to the other ones and they only sell kits for the buggies i want (I think).
2. What buggy should I get? I'd prefer something that could take a beating off road. Is $150 to $200 for each buggy too little to expect to spend? Should Iexpect to spend more?

Thanks!
