Default 1 or the other

I had my kyosho st-r every since i started the tread in the truggy section. Well it needs engine, pipe, flywheel, clutch, clutch bell, servos, wheels/tires, wing mount and front knuckles(probably will get kingheadz). I wanted to get it running so bad i decided to put the serpent for sale so i can finally get it going. I have the difference to add to the money i get from the serpent to get all the good stuff. Yesterday i went to sears. They had 2 Bowflex machines and i got on them and boy do you get a good workout! Its just like they advertised on tv and i use to want one but now that i got to try one out, i really want to get one now. Personally im leaning toward the bowflex now but i also want to drive my truggy real bad. What should i go for and why.

It could go both ways..

1. You have enough rc's (looking in your sig) so you could go ahead and get the bow flex..

2. You could get your car running and keep doing squats, push ups, situps, running, and so on..

Well the 950R is on its way out and the menace might be too later on because i dont have much of a need for those 2 no more. The only thing running is the jammin, i also need the same stuff i mentioned for the kyosho for the fusion. But i see what your saying... and working out w/o the machines sucks to me.

I declare ProRCRacer88 the most random person on RCU, just joking, I dunno, if you can afford both then go with both

nope, its either one or the other, and then the one i dont pick comes later on.

i need to still see if i have the space for the bowflex because the garage is a storage area right now and the only place left really is my room. Was thinking of symple taking the entertainment center out with the tv and put it there but not quiet sure how that will work yet. If i see i have the space i will go with it, if not, then the kyosho will be up and running.

thanks for all your replys, any more are welcome.

yeah, not with the crowd again, get the vehicle running, that is what you said you wanted to do, then get in shape flipping the car... make a policy that every time you crash.. you have to do xyz squats, pushups... sounds good hunh

i think a bowflex will be better in the long run health wise...fun wise, well, unless your a body builder you may not find it too fun. if you already have a couple RC's then i say the bowflex is the way to go
