Dave do you need an engine and electronics or just a roller. Also remember for your $500 you are also going to need spare parts for back ups, if your racing two classes you will need another transponder.
I assume the $500 is for you?? The way I read your first post you sound like the guy needing help but dont want to admit its him, "I ahve this FRIEND that has this problem" LOL
Dave I would suggest picking up a used 1/8th scale ( an ofna or something) that can be raced but is durable. This will leave you with extra cash for an engine or any spares...
Balt71 is rocco's good friend he is selling a Ofna Violator with a starter box and a ton of spares for somewhere arounf 225 ish (dont quote me on this) Either shoot him a pm or Rocco and they will fill you in more.
By purchasing the Ofna brand spares are easy to get, and they are durable for bashing and racing. By going this route, your not killing your budget just to see if you like scale. If you do then you can always upgrade to a higher end buggy...
Just my 2 cents worth...

A friend will help you move, but a REAL friend will help you move a body.
