It doesnt make sense to me to rebuild a car for half or 3/4 the price of a new kit.
+1

my track have a lot of killer jumps and is wery hard on the car.
But how many months??
I like to answer in amounth of liter.Personally i wear my car totely dawn before i change it.
And it is a xray xb9.
Normally it takes me around 40 liter.During that time i change bearings clutch tires .Maybe a wing or two and a body.Wery seldom anything else.
After 40 liter for my use the car is stil ok if i change some parts,but prefer to by a new one.I dont race..
I also have a ansmann vapor 4 years old,and it does wery good on display(shelf)
