for on road electric cars around $200 there are good options. HPI Dash, Electric TC3, and Electric 4 tec. Also there are lots of very scale realistic RC cars from Tamiya that can be had for a couple hundred from Mustangs to mini coopers to open wheeled F1 cars. Plus the cars I listed are all upgradeable and can be fixed if they get broken or worn with parts available as most hobby shops.
I'd give you links to specific Rc's online but Tower Hobbies web site is being annoying right now but out http://www.towerhobbies.com they have just about everything listed.
Unfortunatly Schaumburg area has nothing.. there is a hobby shop in wheeling call Venture Hobbies that is good for Kits, Also a hobby shop in Elmhurst called Al's that is very popiular, Hobby town Usa in St Charles is good also. Al's and Venture hobbies would have the best prices.
lets see..
