looking at the list, there only seems to be two hop-up options included in the kit version namely 1) stabilizer set and 2) front brake set.
these are not expensive parts and don't really go towards justifying the high cost price of the kit form.
i prefer the price of the rtr version and could live with some disassembly to get the truggy into it's best starting condition. i would normally strip down the engine, differentials and shock to have a good look before the first run and break-in procedure anyway.
kit form comes less, a) tires, b) radio gear, c) starter gearbox, d) electric hand-held-starter, e) glow plug heater, f) painted body shell
nauticar, can you add any more comments?

hi etopsflight
You're right about the kit parts. You'll most probably end up spending more if you bought the kit version. If you dont plan on 'customizing' that is. I love building things up - therefore the kit version was for me, no question.
Having said that im thinking of buying another nitrage lol - my lhs cut the original price of the rtr version by 25%!!
I think the brushless servos that you suggested in an earlier post are excellent but are they worth the price? I thought MY servos were over the top haha lol. Like Qaiz said you can get anything rated more than 8kgcm - thats's what Tamiya recommends in the manual.
My suggestion - if you're into Nitrage bashing - put your money on spare parts. If youre into high speed on road racing - put more money on hopups. And probably a picco .28. Haha
