best bang for my buck

[crazybluerider1]

I just got my tax return and I'm going to get an ax-10. ckrccrawlers.com is giving a pbb discount. basically the discount=free shipping. My question is of these 4 rtr kits which is the most bang for my dollar. I'm leaning toward kit c. It seems to have the best components without getting into stuff that may be a little overkill for a beginner. Kit A seems like it would require a lot of upgrades though.

So I would like some help from those of you that have ran these.

Thanks
Kit A

I personally would piece it together yourself. The axial kits can be had for $180ish from ebay. I would look at a three channel radio for when you want dig or rear steer(if you're not competing). The sidewinder seems to be a good ESC from what I have heard and a 55turn motor should get you started in the right direction. The sidewinder will also run a brushless motor if you ever want to.
