For $150   you won't even get a base car.         A cheap   Dominus   is going to run you  $199.    And that's one step above    toy grade.

Status: offline 		Trust me, when it comes to RC cars these days, $150 aint gonna get you much at all. You really have to spend around $250-$300 to get a decent car. A Traxxas slash 4x4 is around $300 and they are very, very good for their price.
