Default $1500 for anything RC

What would you get if you had this money laying around?

Personally I am in the mood for a basher 1/5
OR
Maybe a 1/10 and 1/8.

I would get these;

Car: Sworkz S350BK1 or Team C T8V3
Engine: Sworkz S3 or Alpha A852
Servo: Futaba or Savox
Radio: Sanwa MT4

Go for 1/8 in case you decide to start racing later.

I'd probably spend the money on upgrading any outdated equipment (battery chargers, tools, etc)., stocking some spare electronics, and refurbishing my race vehicles.

I know, it's a boring answer - but I'm pretty happy with the cars I have...

Well I don't think that's including all the upgrades everyone seems to get out of the box.

I was looking for a SCTE as well. Since I don't want to spend the money on a 5ive, that was my next choice.
