I wasn't looking to be a pro racer lol it's just a hobby. I wouldn't say the slash is a "cheap" class either I put hundreds of dollars on tires, lipos, and shocks to make it race worthy. All I asked was how difficult it is to build a b44. This could be a long term project for all I know especially since race season ends in my neck of the woods in 2 weeks. Just trying to get a perspective on building a kit really wasn't interested if I'm getting in over my head but ty for ur input anyway. Guys at the track don't make it sound as difficult as u do. I understand it's a different class and more maintenance would be required. Just looking to see if it's worth it for the kit or just go caster rtr.
