or even cheaper a nikko 1/14. i had one and theyre brilliant fun for a first timer.
i even drove it down the stairs once or twice (by accident! it went out of line of sight). you can get hop ups too. motors, battery packs, tyres, and i think maybe even oil shocks. they take a beating. and they even come with an FM radio out the box (i found this out by putting it next to my amp and turning the steering. it went higher and lower as opposed to louder and quieter.)
