I've been racing RC on and off a long time. Recently, I finally decided that it is the right time to go 1/8 onroad. I have everything, starter box, tire truer, radio equipement, digital telemetry, and transponder. All I need is a car and motor. I can get some good deals out there on a roller however, its the cost of the motors that has stopped me cold! $300 - $400 on a motor that may or may not last a season
plus various pipes at a $80 - $100 a piece. I just couldn't deal with that kind of cost.
However, it took me less than $200 and very little time to convert my XTM buggy into an IGT look-alike with a competiive motor that costs me no more than $150.
Someone made a comment about Busch series graduating into F1... well Kinda hard to make it to F1 without an F1 budget. Most guys out there are on a Busch Series budget.
Besides, I need some money left over to pay for that "real" car that is hauling my stuff to the track. Maybe I can afford 1/8 if I took the bus instead.
