Money is just paper and debt is just a term...

The most popular A700L USA spec costs $727 new vs say $520 for your T4... Not sure what car you are talking about that you can get 2 of them for the price. I am sure whatever cars that are finishing on top are not "Box Stock" either.

I came from all Tamiya cars and when you start adding up all the "blue crack" hop up's, suspension blocks, springs, raceberry chassis for example it's really not that much different...

I got mine used... Still a lot of money no doubt, but I am very happy to be on team vodka and no plans on going back. I have found this car much easier to drive in all classes I have tried it in. The shock changes are so easy and I would never want to go back to standard springs/shocks with that maintenance.

I do highly recommend anyone who gets this car to get some Hudy setup gauges and the "caster doodles." This makes changing the rest of the car setup SOOO much easier.
