RE: economic analysis of FG MT vs. nitro MT
I was kidding, of course.
But my 4 y.o. LOVES hanging out when I bash, and I love being able to run all over my neighborhood, too!! It also draws quite a crowd, and I'm paranoid & extra-careful enough w/a 9 lb truck re. hitting people & other's property...it'd be exponentially worse with a big boy!!
Yes, a big truck would be a blast, but it'd be lonely unless some friends/trackmates had them as well. I think a Marder would be a great SECOND truck, but if it was an 'either/or' decision, I think the choice is pretty clear.
