Default RE: Thinking of going surface

Hey all,
I am a frustrated heli flyer/crasher for several years. <u> I am finding that I am spending more time trying to repair and get these things back in the air then actually flying. It is not fun anymore, if it ever was.</u> So I thought if not by air, maybe by land or sea for that matter. I am not saying surface is easier, but I think that I could have more control over two dimensions then three, leaving me more driving time then down time. It has been an emotional ride and an extreme test of my patience over the years. So here I am. I am looking for a good surface starter. I have a ton of 3s lipos and a dx7 so if those can even be used I would love to find something along those lines. With helis it's align, eflite, etc...With cars/trucks I have only heard of Traxxas. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't looked at anything yet so I know absolutely nothing about the RC car/truck universe. Thanks in advance.
While we do have to worry about crashing into immovable objects, the ground not so much.

My suggestion is to do some looking around so as to be able to have some semblance of a basis of opinion and brand knowledge on your own before asking others, as you can get all levels of advice and run into all kinds of brand-*****s on forums like this (some good, some not so good, and some downright poor).

hey talk for yourself my savage has crashed into the ground with its bumper more than anything else
Sad thing my savage has also went higher in the air than my one attempt at helicopters, and was probably airborne longer [:@]
