For 2 of my cars, I got lucky. Brand new HPI MT2 18SS with $50 receiver and $130 in servos for $40, which my parents paid (I got it for X-Mas). New-looking TC4 with servo for $5 ($10 including the body), and only needed $27 in parts to get running. I got my Revo rolling chassis a while ago for $200, and had to replace about $30 worth of parts. The rest of the parts I made myself.

Things get cheaper when you make them yourself. Since I tend to have a tight budget (working 12 hours/week at $6.75, and half gets put in the bank), I do whatever I can to save money.
