Nitro/Glow RC Truck $130.35 Shipped
This was posted 9 months 27 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Saw these while looking at batteries.
My experience may be well dated but I would expect to pay $300 or well more for something like this.
Just add a controller and glow heat thingy.

I built up a pretty standard Tamiya DF-03 a few years back, upgraded to a cheap Brushless motor kit and powered it with a cheap LiPo pack… didn't even upgrade the bog standard AM radio gear! It was ballistic and lasted around 45-60 minutes with the throttle 100% as much as I could. I actually got BORED before the battery died! Fitted a speedo, calibrated it three times because I couldn't believe what speeds it was doing… up to 101kph! See it here: http://youtu.be/eF_E65RM0Y4
Electric is now stupidly fast and getting cheaper by the day but nothing beats the noise or smell of Nitro ;) No good for suburban backyards though.

Ha yeah, feel free to ask any questions DonkeyKong. I'm out of that hobby now but I should be able to answer most of your Qs.

I could use one around the house.

Are they any good?
Looks like you need your own remote and they are running on fuel.
What type of petrol does it takes?
