I Have RA controller not the plus model. If I get the rapidled kit with dimming driver. Can i control it with the RA?Do I need to buy the dimming expansion kit to make it work? Will I be able to do thunderstorm all the other good stuff? The RA since its not the RA+ do i have enough memory for it?

You should be able to sqeeze it in, but I'd make getting the RA+ upgrade board a priority.
For lightning effects, you'd need the LDD drivers and a dimming expansion (they use 5v signals). The other option is ELN drivers (get PWM or 10v depending on your RA setup) but they really don't allow for much lightning.
I recommend the LDD drivers. They're more expensive to start with, but they expand much more cheaply and easily and are more versatile.
