Go On Mr. Flymo! Its a cracking deal!

"Nitro" is the type of fuel. The link you posted is for a toy and *nothing* like these!

There are two Carson King of Dirt's, One Hot Bodies Lightning II and a Losi XXX NT

A lot of the manufacturers rebrand or use other peoples parts and all Hot Bodies Lightning (and Lightning stadium) parts fit Carsons.

Here's a Video of a Lightning Stadium. This is running the std .26 engine and both of the ones I have for sale above can wipe the floor with it! Either with the Sirio Engine or the RB S7! Quick Eh?

Well I kinda guessed that given the price, but the one I posted is for a child. Knowing nothing about RC cars, I was trying to ask if it was any good.

Actually ralph, it looks quite good.

Some points:

You'll need rechargeable batteries for the remote and the car (aa's) and a fast charger. They eat std Duracells. If you get 2400-2800MHa batteries they last for ages and charge quickly

You'll need at least one spare 7.2V battery, even better two. One in the car, one in the charger and one ready to go.

and a fast charger!

There's nothing worse than kids waiting for a battery to charge.

Factor those into the price.

Also factor in availability (and price) of parts. Things can get expensive with the cheap kits and they make their money from the never ending list of parts and upgrades you go through
