Default RE: Losi 1/18 mini desert buggy

Hi all,
About to get my desert buggy. It'll be my first non-toy rc car.

looks like I'm jumping into this too late, since no one's selling them for $100.

from reading through this thread (5 hours of reading...), I'm wondering how many of you are still running stock shocks (since I doubt I'm mechanical enough to figure out how to attach/jerryrig aluminum shocks)

or maybe a better question is, how many aftermarket parts have you needed to buy to keep the thing rolling?
$150 is already a lot to spend to start a hobby, and I learned my lesson from trying to fly a e-heli (Eagle 50 never even got off the ground before I broke it... should find time to figure out what popped on that too... some day)

Thanks in advance and thanks for all the vids you've posted...
(tomorrow will be my last chance to return shipment before receiving to avoid any charges)
