I'd recommend for extreme out of the box performance, the 1/16th Brushless Revo.
Start out with one battery, and capable of 30mph. Strap in another battery with the series connector, 50mph. Or get the parallel connector and double your run time.
LiPo batteries for them are cheap. I got two 2s Lipos for $24, and two 3s Lipos for like $30-40.
But, the Revo itself comes with a decent price tag.. I think they are still going for around $280 new probably. But, the out of the box performance probably has anything else beat that you will find, straight out of the box that is.
