SO, got great news PEOPLE.
I did well on my report card, half A's half B's...my dad just ordered me the Competition X.

That's it, the one I just bought!!
I am so happy, just need my LiPo cells, 18t pinion, chassis from reaper, car from oramac, front cvd/ knuckles, and rear cup joints, and then assembly.
Then, I'll have to buy a hobby-grade servo.
Prob an HS-55, then I need to get the Futbaba TX and receiver.
