IMO get the new FT SC10, it comes with all the goodies. Kyosho is nice but it does have the plastic shocks, no big deal. The only hang up I have on Kyosho is the prices on some of there parts. CVD's are like $60-$70 a set, rear stub axle (for the CVD's) is like $18~for ONE!, Slipper pads are like $17
Most parts are inline with everybody else but some are just nuts for price.
