Yes you can get some batteries that already have the traxxas style connectors already installed.

Here is an example of a 2s lipo with a traxxas plug for about $45.00

This one is under $40 but does not have the traxxas connector.

Lipo batteries are still pretty expensive. You can probably find some no name ones from china on ebay or some other websites but be careful. Do some research and see if anyone has had any luck with a particular battery or seller before you buy one. I would suggest sticking with the name brands from reputable well known sources.

Here is an example of a decent charger in your price range to get you started.

If you have any soldering experience its really not too hard. Consider the extra cost of the traxxas plug when buying. If you can buy one with it for 45 or one without for 35 by the time you add the cost of the extra connector and the time to attach it you may be better just getting the one with it already on it.
