If you're on a budget and don't want to take the risk then sell the Tekin for good money and get the HW 1/8 buggy combo for $135. Those ESCs are pretty much bullet proof and even if it does smoke you can get a brand new one for $65. Worry free driving, though probably not as buttery as some would like.

Got to run nitro today for the first time ever and I'm hooked!! Had a blast!! The kyosho handled good considering the track conditions and the O.S motor was easy to tune and run. Cant wait to go back!!!

Nope. Practice nights are fun nights but racing I take seriously so I'll be sober and focused. At least that's the plan.
