yoster:
i don't know about the Hobbytowns by you, but the one by me drops the price 20% on your parts if you pay for them in advance when ordering.
my other LHS will get me anything i damn well please, though, so i usually go there. I do occasionally go to HTUSA just to throw some bucks at both local shops and make myself feel good.

the x-c is what *I* personally woudl go with if i were to buy an RTR ST, simply for the fact that its SH .18 will last longer. you can always buy a smaller clutchbell or bigger spur to make it sit up and beg
btw, it IS the agressor.
