That is all up to you really it a matter of driving style, Skill, and what best suits you no one build is the ultimate dead ringer but I would say more their are many that do great with the proper ability and skill. I would do some research and look around at other peoples rigs and see what you like the best give it a shot and if you like that setup run it.

Get yourself as many items from the Vanquish web site as you can..Get some Panther Leopards,and stuff those with Nova's Ark 2 stage foams.Novak Goat 3s brushless system and you should have a good jump on things..
