You can get a RTR (Ready To Run) from Tower Hobbies or Stormer Hobbies or any other hobby store online if your willing to pay the shipping costs. That asside I would strongly recommend you get sdomething from a known manufacturer, like Associated, Losi, Kyosho, Traxxas, etc. Go to http://www.rc411.com, register and talk to them, this is the website for Xtreme RC Magazine. Other than that you can get a "Rice rocket" from HPI for about $200. I will include the RTR page from Tower for you to peruse and look form there.
