The rat and monkey are fantastic value for money and are very competitive against the more expensive kits out there. They are very well built, materials are of good quality I have only a rear shock tower crack from a high impact collision. Parts are very cheap and easy to get.
There are a few upgrades you need firstly replacing the kit diff and idler gears. I have the kevlar diff and ali idlers gears. You also need a set of roller bearings and some alloy shocks and thats it.
So kit £62
bearings £8
Alloy shocks £25
Kevlar diff and Idler gears £15
I would go for the monkey as it is mid motor and is quicker than the rat around high grip astro. Also is very planted and level over jumps and through the air.
