its not only the product between the two. the fact of the matter is RC's sales staff and customer service is way better then Rusty's by at least a mile.

I have the RC 4.5 and still love it.

Good price, and still working right. Ran into on issue missing some bushings, but they were overnighted to me and got them before I was done doing the install.
