LOL... yeah I guess that would be good. Can you tell I was making it up as I went? ha ha

So that bumps the totals:
parts: $360
batt: $200
total: $560 plus @ $500 for a race level buggy = $1060

Now it's only missing a servo (and rx/tx of course). The Caster ZX-1R at $425 on sale direct is cheaper than most pro cars: RC8, Xray, Mugen, Losi, Kyosho etc... they are pretty much all $500-550

So throw in a nice servo and the ZX-1R is still only $500

So is $1060 too much sticker shock? I might put one together just for fun... when I have some down time this winter. (work slows and the weather sucks) I can get enough discount on a few things to cover shipping and misc costs and still probably have a few bucks left over, even selling at actual street cost of the parts. The guys at Caster are interested at this point so they are willing to work with me a bit I think. That's the only way something like this can be done.
