Unfortunately Kyosho have once again fallen into their usual trap of releasing a variety of update parts without releasing boxed kits with the same parts in them too (for example, a normal Lazer updated with the SP package is NOT the same as a boxed Lazer SP, and there is still no official confirmation of a boxed FS kit).
The Lazer Readyset is a very good deal and great for the total beginner and bashers however all the suspension and a lot of other little parts are different on the SP, to upgrade to SP spec is uneconomical.
Since you are already intending to get a brushless system, the standard ESC and motor in the Readyset is instantly wasted. With Brushless power you may find that a few parts on the Readyset will wear out quickly, I believe the driveshafts in particular are a lower grade. You could end up wasting the Readyset cash almost as soon as you spend it (although it will give you a handful of spares to use on an SP)
Popular brushless winds here in the UK for 4wd is a 5.5 or perhaps a little milder. Racers use sensored systems almost without exception as they don't cog and have better feel at low speeds. I don't think the US is much different in terms of motor choice.

I have heard through the grape vine that the FS is defo coming and it will be around December time. But then again I might be dreaming.
