$600 dependent on the combo.
Thanks!
dude $600 will get you a nice ready to run combo and charger and lipo's NEW

you could buy any of the associated 1/10 electric offroad brushless rtr's and then some charger and lipo's, i just went to amainhobbies to see what the price range is and i put this stuff in my cart for $370: t4.1 rtr brushless(you dont have to get this exact chassis it was just for an example), two eco power lipo batteries hardcase, 5000mah 30c and an eco power charger

this would be a way better choice then buying used and you still have money for tires, body, extra parts tools, or possibly a better radio if wanted
