If you are more leaning to the racing spectrum, another excellent car is the Yokomo GT-4 pro or RTR, but with the RTR you still have to make some changes to get an excellent race car. I bought the RTR not wanting the trouble of assembling it but now I realize I wouldnt have gone through the hell of taking parts off all the time changing out stock parts for the parts on the PRO. But now when I race it at my LHS's track on the weekend I have started winning races even over the NTC3 and HPI cars.
