looking for the future of you wanting to go elec. 1/8 scale. The 8ight and RC8 are great platforms.
if you go used you could go brushless lipo fairly cheap.
Used 8ight 1.0 $200.00
Servo $75.00
team losi conversion $80.00
MMM/2200kv combo $280.00
2 Zippy Lipos 5000mah 4s $200.00
$835.00
With an RTR that will be nitro to start with you will be spending alot of extra money on something that you will be throwing away later.
you might be able to find an "E" roller cheap also.

this was sold for $240.00 looked like a good deal. The RCPD stuff is quality.
good luck
