The best 1/16 or 1/18 4wd. for the money would be the Duratrax Vendetta. Comes with every thing needed, even transmitter batteries. Pull it out of the box and go! Parts are also fairly cheap and very durable it also comes with a standard size steering servo. I put a Mamba Comp. X brushless with a 2 cell Lipo and burrned the tires off in five minutes in front of my house, its extremely fast on the street. Every thing together was well worth the little amount of money it took to go super fast and cause my friends jaws to drop. This is my experience and opinion of some thing well satisfying for the money, and mind blowing speed.
