i was either going to get the cyclone S kit or the Trinity T Spec. Which one do you guys think is better? I'll probably be using the car at a track. I just need some entry level car so i can get some practice. Then i'll move up to a more high end kit.

was there any kinda regulations? or am i missing something? rustlers and 1/10th touring should never be mixed. what gearing are you running? I''m planning on getting the kit form in a few weeks for my 15th b-day.

Thanks
