RE: Which buggy should i get??
that kyosho's way outta your budget once you tack on the stuff to make it move.
batteries and a charger will blow your budget away
plan on spending between $120-160 for 2-3 batteries and a charger. (I'm basing it on pricing of turnigy batteries, and charger from Hobbycity other places are more)
and I dunno of any 1/8th RTRs that cost $240 that are decent
on average for 1/8th scale electric your loking at $700 minimum entry.
If you plan on electric I'd drop down to 1/10th scale or 1/12th scale as those are a tad more friendly on the wallet, and not go brushless (even 1/10th scale BL RTRs are $350 without batteries)
