At 68 USD, with IR emmitter, IR receiver and receiver base, you can't go wrong.

I have both. Impact was 90 AUD inc postage, whilst Tamiya at 99 AUD inc postage. I got the latter instead of another Impact because it was sold near me and at a nice price. If it was 180 AUD, I'd have ordered 2 Impacts.

Extra info:
The Impact Receiver will fit the Clark base by trimming the base down. This way I can fit both Tamiya and Impact.



About the Impact system;
If you mean the IR receiver system. None.
It you mean in the IR gameplay, slightly in a disadvantage as it has better sensitivity than Tamiya's.
If you mean postage, slightly. Slightly expensive on this end, but probably due to insurance cost and customer support.
