Default Cheapest 1/8 ever

What's the cheapest 1/8th ever regardless of quality, price, powerplant? It also has to be RTR.

I have an older version of that one. The new one has the much better Force 28 vs the old Force 26. The new one also has the hardened crown gears in the differentials. Good buggy for the price, but I think there might be cheaper ones as OFNA is a well known brand name.

redcat backdraft. $229 on ebay
Redcat Earthquake 3.0 $209 off ebay
Redcat themselves are too expensive to buy from so go through a reseller. Its kinda like most companies buy from the manufacturer and you pay the MSRP, buy from a reseller and get it alot cheaper.
BTW before anyone looks at me weird I will quote

Honestly its not like he'll buy anything he's asked so many things on prices, and recommendations its not funny.

I think he changed his name more due to people poking fun that he was named after HPI, and only asked about other brands
