+Starter box, nitro basics (fuel bottle, glow ignitor, etc), clutch setup, receiver battery pack, (charger?), new body, few sets of wheels/tires ($100), etc, etc.
Gets pricey.

How often deos a $500 budget car become as expensive as a $1500 primo perfect built nitrobuggy?
Allost every single time within a year of racing.
The cheapest setup for a year of racing can cost 3 times more than your budget, but still be cheaper in the long run.
