Can anyone recommend the cheapest fast remote control car for my dogs
to chase around the yard which has 4" grass?

Thanks

My E Maxx does a fine job!
Stick with an electric one, the nitro ones are too loud
and can burn the dog's mouth, they will catch it eventually.

Check out the Traxxas Stampede. It has good ground clearance and is
cheap like $160 RTR w/esp ---see below

Is there a model that will flip back on it's wheels when if flips over?
Something for less than $100 ?

dog.. ;)

Anyone know how fast this gyro max atv will go?  I like that it will
flip itself back upright.

Is there a way to increase ground clearance for a Traxxas Rustler?  Or
should I just buy a Stampede too?  I have already boughten it and it makes
it through the grass but at quite a bit slower speed than on dirt or
asphault.

Pro-Line Masher 2000 tires will put it on par with a Stampede.  Be sure
to gear down to offset the tire diameter.

Can you point me to a website that explains how to gear down?  Preferably
with photos too?  Hopefully I can find a club soon that may have some more
experienced members to help me out, this is my first RC.  I'm loving it
though.

Try getting a set like this:

You just swap the little metal gear on the motor output shaft with a
larger or smaller one untill you get good acceleration.  Keep in mind
that you'll have to reset the motor position so that the new gear is
meshed with the spur gear.  You want it as close as possible without
grinding.
