If out-of-the-box includeds used cars, get the Pro4 or the Xray FK04. Even the Xray Evo2 is a good car for asphalt. Don't get the TC4. Even with factory kit graphite parts it is over weight.

I have to agree with the Pro4. And not because I have one.
That thing out of the box is dialed. They have a ton of hop ups for it, But I remember Hara tearing up the asphalt scene with the car bone stock.
Then again, he's Hara were not
For the price and out of box performance I would go with the Pro4.

If your looking for a car that's pretty much complete with spare parts and all, this guy is unloading his precious rides ( Factory Team TC3, Yokomo with rayspeed chassis, HPI pro 4. ). Here's the link.

Cheapest best out of the box pro kit. Pro4
This is one kit that you can survive and be competitive on just whats in the box.
Any other cheaper kits are either non pro-kits or require some choice hopups (or rather must-haves) which will bring their price to the same level as the Pro4.

Thanks for the tip Roger. PM sent. Looks like the Proto Mazda 6 is the new Stratus... (for those of you who have been doing this for a few years) Is this the most neutral handling body these days?

Eh... I've had lots of off road cars. B3, T3, XX-4, XXX, XXX-T, XXX-4 and a Schumacher Cat 3000 somewhere along the way. I'm not a newb, just trying to get back into racing sedans. I've had a few of those too. (but I won't get into that)
In a previous life, I did some writing for that magazine that Mike and Derek run. (Jungle shout out for Mike V.)

Pro 4...great value!
It comes with everything you would need to race or street bash. It also looks cool. If you race carpet just get a BMI down the road.
), very controlable (if you don't crash 
) and you don't need a lot of money to get it running to what you want

With a crap speedo, crap batteries, crap servo ...etc, you still looking at about $600+us
Even if you already have all the electrics its still $400+
