Since i've never controlled an even remotely fast RC car before, i'm thinking 40-50kph is more than enough for me, but was looking at buggy-style (mostly cause i had an infatuation with "Fast Traxx" when i was younger). That Lancer is appealing though! (perhaps because i drive the watered down Lancer in real life :P) How long does a fully charged battery last?

From what i've read (and thus limited knowledge), i can't discern much difference between a Traxxas or Duratrax low-end model and the one you pointed me to (at least not enough to justify 3 times the price!). Is it durability/off road cabability or brand name?
The battery on mine lasts probably 10mins if I'm lucky. But I have mentioned it's only a very low end battery.

As for the "lancer", it's only the outer shell. Walk into any hobby store for a direct replacement to whatever you want. HBX is a big chinese brand, 100% parts swap with tamiyas.

I have no idea on what a Duratrax brand is. But if you want nitro done properly, expect to pay in the region of a grand. And tamiya/traxxas are pretty big brands supported by just about every hobby store out there.

Don't let the price fool you, I only paid $140 including shipping. Just wait until the seller puts them up for bidding
Looks cool for a stadium buggy, but what brand is it and how's it for parts?
