You had me until you said cheap.

I'm not sure you're going to find a 'complete package' cheaper than the Revo Brushless Edition.

What equipment/components do you already have? Do you have a charger that can handle 6s Lipo? Do you have a Tx/Rx?

I sold a lot of my existing stuff to make this happen, but here's the rundown of my most recent build, 1/8 MBX5T:

The Parts Bought:
$215 MBX5T prospec roller(ebay):
$63Wheels and tires:
$127 (2x NeuEnergy 25c, 5000mah, 3s packs from Flydma.com)
$134 (servos, receiver)
$148 (charger, wire, connectors, etc etc)
$369 (Tekin combo + hotwire)
$75 (Motor mount, pinion, spacer for brakes)
Total: $1100

And I already had the radio...

EDIT:
You could get a cheap charger and save about $50, MMM is about $50-75 cheaper than the Tekin setup. A 4s Zippy pack would save maybe another $75. And if you get something that has wheels and tires already you save that $63.
