Default want to buy about 6-8 cars for my floor! Which cars for ~$150?

Hey there. My floor on my dormitory want to get into RC after seeing my Savage =) However...we don't all have enouhg money to buy a savage. Thus, the most we decided to spend was up to ~$150 each.
It needs to be/have:
-radio and equipment
-better off RTR
-fast
-off-road style (buggy or truck)
It doesnt really matter if it's electric or nitro. I looked into electric but the idea of recharging every 15 minutes kinda bums me out. I really like my nitro cars. I looked into the mini-T but i dont know how long the batteries will last on there. I read the reviews but it doesnt say how long it'll last on a ni-mH pack. I dont really know if those things qualify for "fast" either.
I saw the nitro buggies on ebay for $150 but i dont know about the quality of them.
What do you guys suggest?
Thanks
Andy

check out the venom mini giant or VMG,i got mine RTR for a $170 canadian so that will probably be less than a $150 US.these things are unstoppable.the first upgrade you should get is the bearing set.then the fireball.they are very good off roaders and they are coming out with oil filled shocks.

Mini-T, get a gp1100 battery pack for it and that thing will fly!
