Well I have raced before. I used to race my xxx-s. The Evo2 FOC car is from a local guy. It appears to be in amazing condition. I know I really want the RDX, but it'll run me close to $600 or so up here in Canada. Where as I could probably get the Evo2 for $200cnd with a servo and spares. Also I see the FK04's go for about $200-$250US. But really is there that much difference between the kits? Is the Evo 2 FOC, just like the FK04 where it needs a bunch of hop-ups to be competitive?
