OK, never mind, that would require requisition forms.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT: RC Cars
For a long time I've wanted an RC car. I was at the beach over the
weekend, and saw a guy running one through the sand and jumping it
around and it looked really fun. I think I'm finally in a position in
life where I can allow myself to get one. I'm thinking I may want one
step above one you can buy at a big-box, but I also don't plan on making
it into a hobby. Any pointers for a guy who just wants to run a car
around sometimes?
Some things I think I want, unless I'm told I'm wrong.
4wd
Ability to cross sand/mud/shallow water (does this mean waterproof?)
Won't break if it flips/crashes.
100 yard range.
Rechargeable battery
Anything specific to look for? Anything to stay away from? I'm hoping
to keep this little endeavor around $200, that way I don't have to go
through all the requisition forms and justification analysis with the
wife.
