if they are both priced the same then it is a heck of a good deal and go for the rtr. my buddy has a spektrum and it is a great radio and it eliminates the need for a failsafe.

If they are selling the kit for $450 then they don't like making money... That is dealer cost on these cars.

Usually the RTR cars use different plastic, metal, and pretty much everything in the RTR to make the same overall car but with a more forgiving nature and not as tunable so to speak because of softer parts to allow more crashes with less breakage at the expense of precision. (longest run on sentence ever!!!!!)

An LHS I used to race for sold every kit they had at dealer cost. He said he made his money on aftermarket parts and race days and could afford to undersale the kits like that.
