$400 · Traxxas rustler 4x4 vxl

With tekno driveshafts and big bore shocks. That stuff was expensive but there ya go. You will need your own battery and charger (new model doesn't come with that stuff anyway). Used it no more than 12 times. Probably less than that. All in all I'd say I spent $1000 but then my brother got me an Armma typhon...
