Default to excited not to share

well i've been watching videos and have been a looker in this section for quiet some time, so i finaly decided to put an order together and i came up with this

-Tamiya XB Raybrig NSX RTR
-Yokomo Zero-one "R" drift tires (4 of them)
-venom 6-cell 1800mAh NiCd

i chose this chassis cause of all the recomendations on this forum and others, i chose the RTR because it was pretty cheap, i got everything for $300 with express shipping to canada, i love tower hobbies (theres more then what i listed)
i plan on getting new rims and a new body as soon as i can get some racing done on this set up, LMK what you all think, i look forward to drifting[8D]

i think the only thing u messes up there was buying that tamiya...for 300 bucks u shoud went for a tc4...they are more customizable..i bought a RTR tc4 on tower with a epic 3,000 battery and a charger and it was 266 $
