I run the Cen matrix arena and have been very happy with the durability and it is not too expensive. I would recommend it to anyone and the Hyper st is a good trug also not saying good or bad about any of the others mentioned I ust dont know about them.
Kit for sure if you can afford it. But here's the break down.

Kit let's say $450
Engine ( a cheapy) $150
Servos can't skimp so $230 including both
Digital controller with reciever $200
Starter box $80
Battery packs for the box $40
Reciever packs need two one for back up $40
Chargers for the packs cheap ones $80 for two.


That's just the tip of the iceberg my friend. 8t RTR comes with the digital transmitter and reciever. Change out the servos and shock caps to start out and you'll be racing. Always go with the kit if you can. When I bought mine I had no idea I would be racing it. But I got bit by the bug.
