My First RC Truck/ Rockbuster

Good Evening,
I bought my first rc truck today. I have been in rc boating, gas and nitro for 23+ years but wanted to try rc trucks so it is a Rock Buster for me.
The truck has some extras, graphite kit, Kyosho Mayhem motor, Dura max esc, all ball bearings, Futaba radio system. Is 200 bucks for it good?? It looks brand new, he said it had been used very little.
Anyway, now I need to buy a couple of battery packs, and a good charger. I am considering an MRC Brain I think it is called. Is purple. I have a charger that will recycle and check battery packs for my boats so I need something that will do a good job of charging and taking care of the packs. I would like to stay below $50.
Also a recommendation on battery packs would be good. sources too.

I will have loads of questions later such as what addons to go for next. I look forward to all you help for a new guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards Curt

I personally like the Duratrax Pirahna Digital more, but it does not discharge packs.
The pirahna is 50 dollars on towerhobbies.com

for a battery pack, i would get some sub C packs from
http://www.batteryspace.com

I think it is under 30 dollars for 2 six cell packs. The rockbuster isnt really meant for running six cell stick packs, but many people do it anyways. You just use the zip ties given with the kit to help hold it down.
