Status: offline 		Engines: Lamberto Collari speced engines, modded novarossi 35plus21, JP Black fully modded edition, RB Concepts C6 modded, in other words, buy a nice high-performance engine and get it modded(preferably by RBMods/net). Modded engines are the best in my opinion.

As far as cars go, any kit from mugen, serpent, kyosho, and the 1/10th R-40 hara edition are the best way to go.

Status: offline 		If you look to get a Serpent 720,

You may as well get a 710 instead and hop it up.

They are going dirt cheap at the moment.

IMO if you are prepared to dish out full whack for a 720 you may as well get the 835.

Great car and the best speced kit out of the box.
Check out Racedayhaobbies for a great deal on TeamMagic and Serpent cars.
For a serious engine I d look at the Mega Masmo ,simply awesome.
Raceday sell mega and NvaRossi engines too.
