if your looking for nitro 1/8 buggy i think the lowest you can go for a brand new one is like $270 for decent quality but i would check out that z-car. otherwise like someone else suggested go with ofna like the hyper 7 tq

otherwise if your willing to do some hunting on the internet look for some used buggies here or on ebay.
