I just don't want to drop that much coin right now. I'm leaning toward either the Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 kit (less than half price) or just changing out the stock valves with Ohlins or Elka valves.

I'm open to all opinions and suggestions, especially from those who use the RC on the track...THANKS!
Why don't you think about the Ohlin's cartiridge kit installed in the stock forks. I think thats cheaper then R/T forks and the valves are bigger in the Ohlin's kit over the R/T forks. But if you're going to buy the forks and the kit then that great and all but too expensive. You don't get the Ohlins look but we perform just as good.
