why not try a hyper 7 pbs...its fast, a lot of people have them so youll be able to get help if you need, and its in your price range. In m opiinin its better than the inferno RTR...but if you trawl ebay and look for deals you could get a lot better....a friend of mine bought a kanai 2 with WS7 for $550...incuding shipping from ebay...like he says, you dont really want to mess around with a kit, but a kit shouldnt be a problem...i had my first kit when i was 6...my first nitro kit when i was 13 and built em all myself so its not really a problem...and it lets you know how it goes together so you service it while racing pretty easily...but if you put it together wrong youre in a world of trouble
