i'm still a noob myself.
what still pull me in this touring car hobbies is
" there are lots of variety of car shells to choose from."
even tho their handling just plan horrible. but to run a car in your
dream is always better then not running it.
Seeing people run bunch of differnt car shell is so fun.
So i do agree roar should at least try to change the
rule a little. as most of the racing shell don't resemable their counter parts anyway.
i start off from buying things from cheap to expensive.
goes thru 2 different kind of charger. 2 radios, 3 esc, 4 motors, 1 leathe, tool,more weird stuff and times. things do added up even
if you buy good used stuffs. how can we tell the new comer that
you have to spend tons of money to be really be in the loop.
$300 for a RTR is quite expensive for them already.
add a decent charger of 60+, 2 extra betteries, 70+, a decent
stock motor, 30+ , decent tools, 45+. this a good 500 bones to start your racing or bashing career. maybe it is just me. but i think
if we can tell the new comer that all you need to spend is around
240 dollor that can get you running and you also get a decent charger. there might be more people to join the TC hobbies with us. T-spec or politics anyone?
i know i'm side tracked and just jack the post.
but money is always an issue for everyone. not everyone
can blow a good hard earn $500+ at once.
*edit*
i would love to run an 8 min long main. as our battery is good
enough for the abuse already.
