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 |

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.
