RE: $600 budget, what would you do?
hna...been racing and beating the snot out of a non-FT SC10...you're gonna love it.
Would definitely recommend buying RPM ballcups immediately, however. ThunderbirdJunkie has never had great luck out of the kit-supplied ballcups with AE cars.
Then again, he broke a lunsford turnbuckle and bent a lunsford hingepin, so take that with a grain of salt.
