The RC10 GT seems to be the clear choice after skimming through the threads, upgrades are there and if it handles anything like the buggy I had, then I be happy with the machine. I guess I'm just judging the two baised on seeing the two running side by side, the xxx-NT was race ready and the gt was some kids beater. I should just find a gt and race that I'm assuming. Plus I don't want to be dumping anymore than $600 into it, I might get bored or change my mind after 1/2 season. That price seems low but I could care less for the first season, if I get hooked again I will spend more.
