If you want to get a kit and build it. Tamiya Grasshopper Kit http://www.amazon.com/1-10-H-P-Off-Road-Grasshopper/dp/B000BMVIGM KD30 without shipping to Kuwait Then add KD25 for a remote and it comes with a servo and receiver i think the first time Then add another KD15 for a charger and battery Total = KD70 Thats cheapest option I can think of and it won't be really for racing.

Thats cheapest option I can think of and it won’t be really for racing.

If u order from amazon u might be able to get a readyto race and built Tamiya grasshoper for kd60. U would still then need to pay for shipping and u need a battery charger which is at least kd15...

Now KWD 95 is not something on my budget but i would like to have a car which is race ready in say KD 50 (i am new to this and really like it). Can i get semi off road for that price if not full off-road? Amazing Mark,

The CR-01 is the most expensive car I've got. So I will give you the price of how much I paid but this shouldn't be used as a benchmark since you could get the same car running for less or more or get a completely different car for half the price. For example the CR-01 comes with a motor but i bought a different one. It comes with shock dampers but i bought different ones. The CR-01 kit cost me KD95 while my Lancia cost me like KD35. It really varies. Anyway here is my costs so far: CR-01 Kit: KD95 Two Futaba S3305 Servos: KD24 Futaba AM Receiver: KD10 AM Crystal: KD2 3Racing Shock Dampers: KD9.5 3Racing aluminum shafts: KD6 (i think) Novak 45T Motor with Rooster Crawler ESC: $110 (without shipping) Paint: KD7 and I think thats everything. You would need a battery if you dont have one, a radio controller and a battery charger. Yousuf there is a HUGE range in prices. The CR-01 is the most expensive car I’ve got.
