I didn't own a NT1 so technically I can't personally compare the 2 but to answer your question, in my opinion the 720 is better (and tested and proven).

The 720 came out a year ago around June when it debuted at the Roar Sedan Nats in California. The car won that race on it's first outing! The NT1 debuted in the Winternats earlier this year with a lot of top drivers driving for them. The 720 won that race. When it comes to performance, the 720 is no doubt a performer and is a very competitive car. Now the 720 07 has been out which is a refined version of the original 720. So again, to answer your question, the 720 in my opinion is the better car. Good luck with whatever you decide on, and don't forget to have fun .

As for the two cars, they are both very close out of the box but have different advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, the 720 is more versatile if you race on a variety of tracks.

in the overall comparison of this 2 cars out of the box..

Definately 720 07 is better spec..

Reason is 720 using RCC shock and spring steel front CVD if I am not mistaken. I particularly like the design of serpent RCC shock.


Where NT1 you only get spring steel all round which is very long lasting but slight heavy if you don't mind. And also the finishing very precise and feel very good to own one. This is very good to attract for those who are pefectionist.


Performance wise i think its depend on the driver.... you will choose NT1 unless you have your own reason for that.

I suggest you follow the instructions and put the initial setup included in the book that way you can have a good starting point. The kit comes with a setup guide that explains the effects of setup changes to give you a general idea.

My 720 KB Web site has some build tips in the "Getting started with DJ Apolaro" section.

dj apolaro, do you run the front knuckles on your car reversed? (left on the right, right on the left)? I was told some of the factory guys are doing this to change bumpsteer in the car.......is this true and if so can you explain a little...Thanks in advance.

I have never run them that way. I have used them stock always. I think they did that for the nationals in Cali since the track was bumpy. I have not needed to try it.
