Default Baja 700$ or..

I can get a new still in box 2.0 Baja for $700 or I can finish my Caster F8T "which is way more expansive than I first thought" I never had anything bigger than a LST. I've got 10 Lipos sitting around waiting to be used and I really want an excuse to by a new Radiopost Radio but after seeing a 1/5th scale in action its hard to want anything else. This is the hardest RC choice Ive ever made probably should have just bought a HPI trophy truggy Flux. My wife is so gonna kill me lol

if the baja is the rtr. get the baja.
i had a caster and was not happy with it's durability.
once you go gas you'll never go back to nitro.

Its the F8T HK pro electric , I would pull my own hair out one at a time rather than run Nitro as a hobby I don't no how something that needs that much adjustment ever got popular. I'm worried that running a gas car around my neighbor hood would get a ton of complaints about my biggest gripe on 1/5 scale.

ah ok the electric version. not bad but for me personally i'm still not sold on there durability.
i had issues with the a-arms and a-arm holders on my caster 1/8th electric buggy. maybe they are better now.

your just outside amsterdam ny right?. there should be plenty of places to go run a 5th scale.
i grew up on rt5 just below lock 9.
if you keep the stock can muffler they are no louder than a weedeater. for power i'd use a 5t can muffler. much better power than the buggy muffler. same power as the ss tuned pipe but alot quieter.
