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 I'm just saying that to be on the safe side)
