best electric 1/10 on road for around $200

[USED]

okay, I already have a nitro truck. I'm looking to get an 1/10 electric car. I'm looking to spend around $200(higher or lower). What's the best car for my budget?
thanks

I would personally try and grab a Team accosiated TC3 electric for under $200 used. There are plenty of aftermarket parts, and there should be a good supply of parts at any hobby shop which is an important thing if your looking to get your car up and running after a crash. I assume you want it used right? The best way to get an idea what they are going for used would be to do a search on eBay. Search closed auctions and that will give you a good Idea what the range of prices are.

Or you could always grab a new RTR at Tower for about $230 but you will still need Batteries and a charger. ALot of times you can pick up extras on the cheap in an auction. Just becareful that your not buying someone else's junk.

When Buying electrics you must keep in mind that you will need batteries and a peak charger. Good Luck!

yeah watch out for junk on ebay. At the track Schummacher and Losi seem to have the best luck at the track if you can call it that. Shaft driven have torque steer so you have to set the car up leaning to one side. So if you are going to race on-road it would be best to stick with belt driven. Belt driven is just a tad more reliable. So the Losi XXX + or a Schummacher would both be good choices....good luck!

go with the losi not to many hobby shops carry spare parts for the Schummacher

it depends on the shop. My LHS has more Schum. parts than Losi...go figure....

It also depends on what area you live in in Ny there is only one guy running an Mi2 everyone is runnung a losi,Tc3,HPI,Xray the MI2 is very impressive but I just don't see anyone really running them in N.Y.
