The thing is, I really dont trust eBay. I know they are popular and all, but there are people out there that just want to scam you. Plus, I feel better buying from my LHS because they back me up on any breakages and give me some discounts. The electric tc class at my track is not really all that organized or serious, thats probably why the director sticks mini-t's and electric trucks in with the other tc. The gas classes are the dominant force, which I am racing in and the car and its hop-ups count. The electric class would really be for fun for me, therefor I dont think that a full race insprired kit would be good for me. I'd rather just hop-up as I go along.

Thanks

The droop screws are threaded into the bumper. The stiff bumpers hold the drop setting better.

nice ride, i like the red aluminum. dynamite i suppose? and i looks like you transformed an rtr into a racer with a few hop ups because i still see the stock electronics.
EvilDriver-where is the sale forum?

yep. from RTR to G+ in a few hundred dollars 
not cost effective at all.
buying a G+ and elecs seperatly would have saved me a lot of money.

hmmm, maybe i should buy the g+ kit to save some money. when i said that the electric class at my track was not serious, i guess that racing in it is not crucial for the whole year aswell. so i guess i will just buy the electronics as i go along then.

I started with an RTR XXX-S and was into my first Graphite Plus within 3-4 months of starting.
When you have the graphite plus setup, most of the aluminum parts are not really necessary. Just bling, bling. The black belt kit, spool and one-way are the only hot tickets.

THe only thing that is nice about buying the rtr is that you get to do the upgrade which is the fun part. You also get to know your car right in the beginning instead of waiting till something breaks and getting to knwo it then when your replacing parts.
Here are a few picks of my rtr.

Wicked-Is that the new rtr II? I recognize the electronics.
JRX-SBill-do you remember the name of the hobby shop? What you describe sounds very much like the place where I regularly race, and will be racing my gp tc when the season starts. Was the name of the hobby shop "Hobby Corner" with a blue sign? Did the shopping center have a gas station on the corner? If so, then thats where I race, and they had a region race there on June 5-6 last year. I mainly raced my street monster truck there last year. They do have an electric class there, as well as at an indoor track at another hobby shop.
