Make it in budget? I dont think so, but you could wrangle an electric car and theres still a battery and charger costs.There's also the option of a 2nd hand Kyosho inferno GT car...

Good luck, I think the budget is thin, so unless there's a generous owner that wants to give away a good deed, you could easily $180 on a lesson anout a lemon.
