Best RC Cars From $150 to $400

Compared to sub-$150 cars, this range typically adds: waterproof electronics, better bearings and shocks, brushless motor options (sometimes as a higher trim of the same model), and stronger stock plastics that hold up better to hard driving.

It's also the range with the widest selection — most of the well-known monster trucks, buggies, and crawlers from major brands have a trim that lands somewhere in this bracket.
