What do you want to do with it? Parts support is gonna suck with all of those, especially with the Thunder Tiger Ek4, too much power for its own good anyways..[:'(]

ask yourself these questions:

1) Who will be running it, an experianced driver or a noob?
2) What does my LHS stock parts for?
3) When do you plan on running it, rain, snow, sun etc etc?
4) Where will you be running it?
5) Why are you running it, racing purposes, bashing, or shelf queen?
6) How will you run it, rough, smooth, show-off, ect ect?

1. Well, I'm kind of a experience driver, not a noob no more.
2. I can alway get parts off hobby people, if I buy the monster mt or x-factor 2
3. I plan to run it on dirt, pavement, grass, no snow and rain
4. At my place where there is dirt, pavement and some grass.
5. Just plain bashing
6. Smooth and less roughness

I see, the parts support really sucks for the ek-4. But I can find parts for the 2 xtm's though...
