Looking for a good kit that won't break the bank

Oh... ok. I will check lhs when I go to pick up the kit. Maybe they have one on the shelf. I am all about having the right tools. I hope this is not my only kit build, so I can justify the purchase. Besides I like to collect tools and hang them on my peg board.... man I am such a :loser: LOL

I built tons of electric kits like 15 years ago.....so the practices formed when I was young enough to make en stick....I also tear every used RC I get down to pastic, aluminum and screw piles and rebuild them...the only thign t date I just really suck at building and setting up is the TC3 ball diffs...those stupid lil thrust bearing balls are just annoying......
I use super glue on the CF edges...the duh was just because I mentioned loc-tite...LOL that's a no brainer when you are doing a build.....
for the FW I just use a HUGE robo grip w/ rubber pads and the OFNA muti wrench.....for springs I just use a flat head screwdriver and some elbow grease...I can get teh buggers on easy but I just bend em back to take em off....I wish I couls take em off as easy as they go on.........the tools Revo mentioned WILL be easier but you can get around not having them fairly easily if the budget is going tite......

Yeah, I am not so sure that the budget will allow it at this point. I think I will try and use what I have already got lying around. It should get the job done. I hope this kit comes tomorrow.... I would like to get working on it this weekend, or at least get the kit organized and ready. The anticipation is killing me! LOL
