Stormperson- I think you can get off your knees, Bruce is finished.
The side links on the back of the CRC car are a million times easier to use. You just pop them on, and it is done. Perfectly aligned. There are not adjustable because they do not have to be. Perfection does not have to be adjusted.
The front end of the CRC is not that complicated. It might be for you, but for most of the people out there, it works fine.
When purchasing a kit you need to look at everything. You really can't go wrong with any of the kits Storm mentioned. I prefer the CRC because it is a better value and the Customer Service is second to none. The speedmerchant car does not come complete, and you need to buy things just to complete the kit. With CRC, Associated, and Trinity, you just buy the kit, electronics and go racing.
Take a look at what the guys are running at the track you will be going too. See what brand of parts the hobby shop stocks. If you are new to 1/12th scale your best bet is to run what they do. It will make your life alot easier and your racing more enjoyable.
