Welcome.
Not a lot of $200 options. Save another $100 and you will have plenty to chose from. Most kits start at $250 and the cheapest RTR I know of is $280. These are new. As for used browse the Bay or get to where you can get to the classifieds here.

what are the names of those around 280? also am i going to need to do anything to them to take them into mud or things like that? and if so what might those upgrades I need be?

Here is a semi scale trail / crawler Venom Safari Creeper Rock Crawler RTR It is pretty tough and you can waterproof the electronics. Look in the electronics section for tips. I used the CorrosionX route.
I do have a Venom Creeper that is a solid crawling platform. The Safari just has a different chassis.
I have more Axial cars than anything so browse the scale cars at this site.

OK that place is awesome. Has a lot of stuff there and good prices but they are out of the cheaper trail trucks xo you know anywhere else to get them for a low price? Also if I get one will there be any parts that I need to upgrade before taking it out? Thanks guys.

Well this is a little cheaper but only blue or green. https://www.ckrccrawlers.com/venom-s...ig-p-2719.html But a better description.
The Venoms already have metal links and metal trany gears.

It's hard to go wrong with the Axial scx-10 platform. They have tons of aftermarket parts available, and are bullet proof.
They can also be customized pretty much however you want. (The Jeep in my avatar started as a Honcho)
