Well it looks likes even though I was adimint about staying on my budget I'm going to be saving my money and going kit route. Ever since my straight axle days (clods and juggernauts for you old timers ) I have loved building kits.

So now I have to decide which kit to go with the 777 is now $280 on towers and the hyper is $230. I'm kindog leaning toward the 777 since its newer although I'm not exactly sure if its better for my situation(more research). Either way I now have to spend $600. Thanks guys

So this is what setup I have in mind as of now:
Kyosho Inferno MP777 Kit
Airtronics MX-3S 3
Airtronics 94102Z Servo (Comes with the radio will use it as a temp. throttle servo)
Airtronics 94758Z Digital Servo
Ofna Delta Force .21 P8
Thats a grand total of a little over $800 and thats not even including the starter box or Rx battery pack I can't exactly afford that right now (1:1 payments) it looks like I'm going to have a to cut some corners somewhere.

Thanks for you help
