For example you can get a HPI Hellfire and throw tons of money at it and make it better, but it will never be like the top vehicles today and still be classified as a hellfire.

If you are talking about say a D8T and a MBX6T. Yes the D8T cheaper, but is a car capable of winning. Same with say a V-Spec and a Speed. The V-spec isn't as good as the speed in most cases, but the V-Spec is an awesome engine. You don't need to buy the best of the best to win. Driving will come into play more. For example. I bought a 8ight-T 2.0 RTR. It isn't a nice as the roller. But is a solid platform capable of doing well. In this case putting some money into it this vehicle as it breaks or upgrading a part every now and then is worth it. It all depends on the platform and vehicle you are talking about.

What car are you talking about?
The Australian truggy champion won with a stock standard v spec in August.
