I would have to recommend the RS4 Rally. I have one it rips. Take it offroad,do some rooster tails and some jumps, change the tires and ride height and rip up the road. What you may want to invest in is maybe a Robinson Racing aluminum layshaft. The one on mine was shredded by the hinge pin.

All of the RS4 kits are very similar in construction, and almost exactly the same drivetrain-wise. What is it you want to do? Go do some big jumps, or scoot around a smooth parking lot? I personally like the MT for it's ability to be switched to onroad in about 3 minutes. The rally is probably a good comprimise but It doesn't have quite the offroad ability of the MT.

Definetly the rally.
And that aluminium layshaft is a must, or at least a slipper clutch. Stops the hinge pin ripping through the pully.

if you want to do parking lot racing with your friends go for the rally, you can take it off road and it will handle better on road thanks to it's increased width.
