The old "pick 2 " dilemma - you can get a new, entry-level nitro for about that much, like an HSP onroad or monster truck. I've got one of each of their 1/10ths, and think they're perfectly serviceable bashers, but they'll need maintenance and parts sooner than other brands.
You can get a used nitro in poor condition for under $200, and spend another $200 restoring it. There's lots of restoration threads on this forum, some members have produced very nice cars out of what looked like junk. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone's first foray into nitro through, as it takes a bit of experience to know what needs to be fixed. There's also lots of crap listed way over value by delusional sellers, so having an eye for what's a good deal also requires experience with nitros.
I can only seem to find that as an onroad model.Get an HSP Flying Fish, its one of my most used and best RC nitros.
It tunes idles and runs great.
Just add another approx $50 on top for some parts upgrades which are not that great from factory and thats it.

The onroad is HSP #94122, "Flying Fish"I can only seem to find that as an onroad model.

The others are:
Short course truck: 94155 "Rally Monster"
Rally Car: 94177 "Kutiger "
Monster truck: 94188
Buggy - 94166 "Baja"
94102, 94108, etc, with a "0" instead of a 1 in the second to last digit, have c-link suspension instead of pillow ball, which is a bit looser, has fixed rear toe, and is less desirable overall.
Oh basically the vehicles the Redcat and Exceed 1/10 4x4 models are rebrands of.
