i spent less on my 5sfte than what i spent on the R/C cars..lol
when i stopped, i had ~4k into the 2 cars and the truck. lmao.

the great thing about a good on road r/c car, is all the suspension theory and stuff transfers over to a real car.

Its one of my very low priority side hobbie, I've had electric cars for ever. I like electric scale rc cars, I have a tamiya tt-01 to just mess around with, and I've been working on a scale custom 06 ford f250, I have the cassis built and the rest planned out but $300 bucks for the parts to finish it is just too much.
my just sits in the closet....i haven't even broke-in the engine yet...it was the 1/8 NITRO celica GT4...quite frankly, they are expensive to work with and you have to have a lot of patient to learn how to properly run the thing
