That money will get you a Mini-t, 7.2v battery and the bearings. I absolutely love my Mini-t. If you're not into mini off-roading, then I'd buy the Mini-z MR-02 ENZO. I'm just not a big fan of the 1/10 cars. If I had to pick out of those two, I'd buy the XMOD with all the accessories.

With $200, I'd probably get a Mini-Z Overland and some hop-up parts, or just a plain Mini-Z.

You do know that 1 crash would kill your car that fast. If I was you and you might not have a lot of money all the time I'd go for something less fast. Repairs=lots of the green...

Well u do know that ppl who do get into 1:10 and 1:8 nitro and electric (1:10) cars probably have enough money or probaby already have spares ready for accidents and anything else that may make the car not run. I myself have the trx nitro 4tec but if you think 60-65mph is fast try a Serpent or Fusion 3speed that can run 85 or higher if tuned right!! This is just another example of a real hobby class rc car!

I'm just saying that some people might not take note of repair cost and just go out and buy.
