Do you have any experience at all with Rc cars? Nitro cars can be a headache and require a lot of maintenance. A good electric buggy that Is tuff as hell is the HPI Vorza. In your price range also.

If you plan on racing regularly at Mikes then electric is a no brained. When you say your price range is 600-700, is that the total for everything or just the kit?

That gives you plenty of options then. The 2wd will teach you a lot in tearms of driving.
For your price range o would buy the HB D812 or losi 8 3.0e. Both platforms are well supported at Mikes. Both cars perform very well at mikes.
