well i have a associated rc10gt that i bash around and its not to bad. i fly planes so i know how to tune a engine. i really like hearing the high rpms but either way i go im going to get a kit i wanna build this bad boy myself : ) but im still not sure which way to go. with nitro everythgin seems cramped together but on my rc10gt its not all cramped up. i plan on drifting this everyday and i plan to get my friend into this as well. so i dunno either way i dont mind spending the money: ) i got a job now lol no more mooching off of my paretns lol
