If you have any plans on racing in the future at Leisure, Intense Raceway, or some of the other tracks in the area I'd really invest in the starter box.
Parking lot bashing with onroad cars is really not that fun unless you get a ton of guys running it. If you live near Lane Tech IRP is probably a 1 hour drive away for you.
I live a couple blocks from Lane and it doesn't take me that long to get there.
Any properly setup car nitro and/or electric would work well. In my opinion if you're just 'bashing' I would buy the nitro so you don't have to worry about runtime...just fuel and go.
The HPI RS4s are nice...but if you get into racing you will see they somewhat lack in that department. The HPI R40 is their more purpose built race car. If budget is a concern I would really bash/race a Associated NTC3.
If you do go out by Lane Tech post on here and maybe I'll swing by and check it out or help you guys out with setup if needed.
I race Tamiya 415s and MSXs so I really don't like bashing them in parking lots
