Why don't you just buy the kit, and then buy the upgrades? There's really not that many upgrades on your list there and they are easy to find.

How about the "Super Pro" kit, that includes them coming to your house and building it for you?

maybe even better a super pro kit rtr, maybe axial can work with holmes hobbies and spektrum and hitec for escs bl motors and digital servos and of course DSM, plus fill the box with all the replacment parts you might break so you dont even have to go to the hobby shop at all. c'mon man, one of the biggest enjoyments about this hobby is making parts and or sharing ideas about how to make a part work better.
just how i do it, plus you should support the local vendors.....essentially they are indeed a major reason why you are able to post this thread on this site.

first of all it wouldnt be more expensive it would cost less in the long run
straight link /bent link
batt-servo/top radio plate
soft spring/hard spring
chrome wheels/black wheels
soft tires/hard tires
.....all these would be a swap...

straight axle assembly should be less expensive......and ta da
throw in already overpriced alum shoch bodies

i dont care myself...own 2 ax-10s...got bout $1300 into each...2 more axle assys on the way ...but some people cant afford it

Sure, but have you ever thought that maybe those with little cash to spend all at once would rather buy the stock kit and be able to slowly buy parts to upgrade it a little at a time...instead of being forced to dish out the higher cost of the initial kit, especially since it may come with a part you'd rather have from a different vendor?

Remember the days when you were able to go buy a truck from the dealership and being able to delete the radio, rear bumper, sliding window, yada yada..? Now you can only buy the trucks as they are on the lot..and most of them are fully equipped models cause the dealership makes no money on the stripped versions. Only way to get the truck you want now-a-days is to order one direct from the factory.

I would rather buy a more stripped down version of a vehicle and be able to install the parts I want rather than living with what the manufacturer has installed....and paying for it!

Making a pro kit is like AE making the Factory Team kits. Some people like to get the hopups in one box. Nothing wrong with that. If you would rather buy the standard version and piece it together with your choice of options, then do that. There is no need to rag on this guy for asking what other racing kits have offered for years.

Who's ragging? My opinions are exactly that.
