If you want something sturdy and fun to mess with them go with a Traxxas Stampede XL5 or a Traxxas Rustler XL5. If you're more for onroad, go with the Rustler; if you want more offroad go with the Stampede. They're both below $200 RTR. All you'd need to do is pick up a battery and a charger, which will be another ~$150.
