In the same sense...what's the best I can do for under $200? Is there any way I could get a nitro car for under that much?

I have one of those. Its not a bad car. But it needs hop ups out of the box to really be used.

The exhaust is plastic, and it loving melts through if you run 2 or 3 tanks of gas back to back. The shocks are plastic, and if it flips on anything other than grass, you'll be replacing them too.

Motor has a lifetime warrenty tho. Redcat isnt a horrible company. even if they arnt "good".

Only advise i could give is DONT BUY USED NITRO CARS UNLESS YOU KNOW YOUR poo poo. I didnt know my poo poo, and my "used" truck is a paperweight because im to stupid to rebuild it.

Mind you, this is all from the nitro perspective. Electric is stupid easy to work on in comparison.
