Default Repair or buy new roller?

Hey everyone, I crashed my Thunder Tiger XXB buggy on Sunday going full speed into a concrete post....

Ive check a few online and local hobby store and the best pricing to order the new parts to repair will cost me $236 inc. postage.

So my question is should I bother repair it or buy a new roller and use my existing motor, esc, batter, radio gear. And if I go for a new roller what recommendations?

Thanks,
Jameson

The xxb isnt a bad buggy appart from the exposed spur gear and odd triangular hex drives. Do you race competitively or use it as a basher?

Its just around the local track ( non competitively ).
On the plus side is have managed to repair a few parts already so the new parts will only come to $80, trouble is sourcing them, no one ( including thunder tiger ) have any parts in stock.

I have always purchased my Thunder Tiger parts from Kellets Hobbies in Liverpool. They have a good range in stock and are always happy to order in when required. If you can't get there their online store is the way to go.
