Post RC Monster Conversion kit or Tekno RC Conversion!

Hey! I have a few questions for anyone with experience with either kit! I am absolutely torn between em. They are very close in price too. Oh, and this is for an RC8. I have heard the RCM conversion is more balanced and the Tekno has better treys. Also, i want to hear suggestions on electronics. Any comments help!

i have had the RCM kit and have no complaints about it, but my next one will be the Teckno kit , reason being is the offset drivetrain and Electri-clutch, you can tune brake bias, and i like that

my pick is for RC Product designs conversion it's 100% Design and Manufactured in the USA from high precision CNC machines. Its not molded thin plastic which can easily break like other kits.

no but you'll get new center diff mounts to offset the weight towards the center.

not needed the Rc8 has a ton of steering as is!.. brake bias = more weight and things to break.
