Well 200 bucks wont get you anything ready to run. I recommend investing about 200 more dollars and getting an ofna ultra lx one it is ready to run and does 50= mph and can take a beating. It is a great buggy especially for just having fun and exceeds your needs of bashing. The only thing that needs to be upgraded on the buggy is a new steering servo which costs about 40 bucks. (I know the buggy is way less then 400 but im just saying that to be on the safe side)

i would recomend putting in a extra 20-40 and getting a Thunder Tiger eb4 s2 nice and sturdy especially if this is your first rig and parts are easily available online and from your LHS if you have one. and it comes RTR.

I would say the OFNA also.
I have a Ultra LX Pro And you can't break it if you try. It should have wings man.

It depends on what scale you are looking for. Redcat Racing offers 1/10 scale under $200 US and 1/8 scale starting at $230 US. I have one of each scale and I bash them pretty hard and have not broken anything yet. Parts are available from Redcat directly. I have found a great supply of parts on ebay and on online hobby stores. I got both of mine from ebay brand new and I paid $300 for both a 1/10 truggy and a 1/8 onroad car/monster truck.

Not in the current climate it isn't.

It's about $330 but we in the UK dont get them for that sort of price, if you can find an RC or something for $330 in the US it won't be £200 it will be more like £300.

Prices are ridiculous over here. The cheapest for a Savage XL is just shy of £500 which is $826.
