I agree with Czech. The RTR's are nice in the fact that you can start runnig it right out of the box, but there are usually some loose screws that have to be tightened. With a Kit, you can be sure that everything is tight right away, and in the event that something breaks while you are running it, you will already know how to work on it. At first, it seems like a bit of an inconvenience to build a kit, but the knowledge that you gain, is well worth the time.

Kits are fun IMO. You need radio, recevier, switch, rx pack, tx batts, servos, motor, clutch setup, flywheel, clutch bell, and possibly starter box.

Go on everyone else's advice on which of the buggies to buy. But definitely go RTR. Its definitely the cheaper way to go (check out Jammin kit price vs. the RTR) You get much, if not all, the necessary starting equipment. And the engine might even be a pull-start (no starter box needed).
Some guys poo-poo PS engines but they're an "easy" way to go if ur a newbie. Plus no starter box to lug around.
You may spend a lot of time 'on ur lid' with the buggy anyway, so even if the RTR engine is a pup youll have more fun. More time drivin, less time bein marshalled.

HAVE FUN

Definetly a RTR.. It'll save you more money and you'll be ready to tear it up out of the box.
