I asked which car would be the more easily upgradeable to a race car and great out of the box. Everyone said the G4S RTR.

I am not disappointed. Right out of the box it was fabulous. The engine starts easily on a box and the car handles great on our slightly dirty moderate traction parking lot. Next time out I adjusted the chassis. Two degrees rear toe in, 2 degrees rear negativee camber, and softer springs in the rear. Adjusted the shock position in the rear on top by one hole to again soften the rear. Stiffened up the front shock about 4mm and set front toe out to 1 degree and 1 degree negative front camber. Jaco foam tire 35 shore all around. I dropped the first pinion as small as it would go. The stock engine is a decent engine mid range and goes well after the shift, but low end torgue is weak so the gears helped.
It was screaming around the track. I'm sure to you guys it would not be so awesome, but to me, a newbie, i was thrilled.

Next ia a new pipe I ordered from Team Magic and this winter a new engine.
Any recommendations?

Thanks again for all the help.
