If you want an all purpose car and the recommended parts, here is what I recommend.

- rally tires
- rally body
- drift tires
- drift body
- onroad tires
- onroad body
- body posts
- kimbrough servo saver

Pretty simple, as it seems your intention isn't to race the vehicle, but just to have some good old fun.

You're going to break stuff (we all do). When that time comes, you will need:
- arms
- hubs
- belts
- knuckles

To save yourself a bit of a headache, just buy a pair of xi kits. It will still be cheaper than a TC4 and a TT02.

As the sakura is essentially a clone of TRF and Xray cars, you're getting a modern chassis, as opposed to a chassis that is limited by design (tt02) and a chassis that is limited by age (the TC4 was released over 12 years ago).

Its like going to buy a computer, and deciding between a Coleco, a pentium III, and a new modern notebook.
