Are you planning on racing or bashing? If racing I wouldn't get an RTR. Just ask questions here and read.
If building a truggy on a budget with no performance comprimises I'd get: Losi 8 Truggy, the Sportwerks .26 v2 engine (off ebay around $110), Ace Digital #DS1015 steering servo and #DS1313 throttle/brake servo ($79 A-Main Hobbies), Spektrum DX3 radio (ebay used), and Panther Boas in clay compound for indoor or GRP Grips for outdoor.
Others will have other opinions but you want a vehicle that others are driving at the track you race. That way you can share set ups and other info. You also make friends that way-everyone needs someone they can count on to pit them.
