Sure it lacks an ESC and a body but a TT01/02 kit don't come with Ball Bearings/oil shocks/fluid diffs/CVDs/sticky tires either. That's an easy $100+ right there
I think they come out to be around the same.
Tamiya:
$120 - TT-02 kit
$15 bearings - ( With dry lube you can run the plastic ones longer than you think )
$25 oil shocks
$20 servo
RX/TX this could be anywhere between the Gool RC $20 and the MT4 $600 - We will go with the Gool 2.4ghz rx/tx - I have one and it is basically a DX3 in a new case.

Total = $200

I did not include tires, because a few times of saucing fixed the grip issue.

The Kyosho Fazer is $249.99 + $8 shipping. RTR
