I could get a roller for $120 hopefully with a servo, 17.5 brushless motor/esc for about $130 and 2.4 Ghz for around $60. So that would be around $300.
If you were to shop around in the f/s section here you could probably find a factory team b4.1 for around $150 and then save up and get a good brushless combo from novak or viper for around 150-200max (less if used) and then a decent radio for another $100 or so. You are into it for a little bit more but you wont have to upgrade anything down the line and you will have better quality equipment from the get go.
