Best performing RTR

[photocycler]

Hey Guys, always wanted a rally car and wanted something scale looking. What is the best RTR kit out there...looking in the 300 or less range if posisble

I've gotten rid of all my Rally stuff over the past year but the most realistic and best handling of all was the DRX-VE. !/8 scale and over your budget though.

Sooo,... to me the Rally Legends cars are super scale looking and offer a few retro body options. They take quite a bit of tinkering to get working well but I had two and enjoyed both. You can get a RTR for close to your budget.

Don't forget the Tamiya xv-o1 as a kit it is aprox $270 as some others will attest it is one of the best handling rally cars that is truly scale.

Absolutely agree, I had one of those also and it handled almost as well as the DRX-VE. By the time he made it RTR it would put him well over 300.00 also.

Considering the Tamiya 1/10 Impreza WRX Sti Team Arai XV-01 Kit over the pro rally, aside from the Pro kit having TRF shocks and not coming with a body, anything else?

The XV01 would be probably the best but on a budget, the Tamiya TT-02 is a good budget choice. It comes in a factory finished option for $179. Just add a Speed Passion Reventon S and Speed Passion 13.5T motor and an entry level radio system and you're running at just about $300. They also have some RTR versions for $299 but I've never liked the stock electronics.
