KC-02 Upgrade Tier List

We get asked all the time what order you should upgrade your KC-02 and how much it costs for a full build. So we've put together this tier list that shows the suggested route for what order you should spend your hard-earned hobby dollars.

There are of course levels beyond even this point if you start getting unique or custom parts made.

There's a lot of products on this list, no they will not all be in stock at the same time usually. It usually takes 1 - 2 years to "finish" a build. Waiting for "everything to be in stock all at once" is a fool's game.
