well said
I personally feel sorry for you guys that waste all of your money on buying "new" parts all the time. I just bought a used Nova engine, runs fine. Just 2 days ago I bought a used HiTec servo, Rx battery, and charger, all used and works very good! Shewt matter of fact I bought my entire buggy used. Nothing had failed yet! Just sold the motor that was in it (Mach 427) used when I got it, still has great compression and runs like a sewing machine!
Like said above ^, risk and reward, and you will save yourself alot of money. This is r/c racing folks, most of you probably club race. Its not like your competing for grand prize of $100,000,000 like in a nascar race.
