What does more money buy at this budget?
Toward the top of a budget you usually get a brushless motor, a proper hobby radio, and parts support from a brand that sells spares. At the bottom you get a sealed toy that is fun until something breaks. If the lead pick stretches the budget, remember that a second battery often matters more than the jump from one car to the next.
