Default emb-1

Hi, been looking at the kit version of the emb-1 but just found a cheap rtr, are there any differences between the kit and the rtr? Thanks in advance for any advice

The RTR is quite good value but has plastic chassis shock towers and shock bodies. The kit version comes with servo and has Ali chassis shock towers and shocks, you would need your own radio and motor/speedo setup.

The cars great! The RTR is really good, the kit motor is the one we use in all our cars at the nationals. If you want the extra features the kit has like the alloy chassis etc then you'll need to buy the ESC/Motor seperately and then add your own transmitter and receiver.

I would go for the rtr then buy the ally towers, this way you will get the motor and 2.4 radio gear, if the radio gear is not what you want im sure you could sell it on or pass it on to you kids?

They look a great car for the money and prove to be very good on the track
