In what, a couple years in the hobby you got yourself into the community writing for some site, and like 4 months later you're bored with the hobby? Trading your RCs randomly for something you may or may not enjoy is not exactly likely to lead to satisfaction in the hobby either. Remember how excited you were about the summit.
Your history of cars isn't exactly setting the RC world alight either, I'd say you've yet to sample the best the surface hobby has to offer. So, you now have a $1000 crawler which you find boring, when what you really need is a brushless truggy you can run on 4S all day literally anywhere. Go trade that crawler for a 2nd hand Associated RC8Te and enjoy a real car. When you can outpace just about anything and outbash the MTs, then you have a chance at having some fun. A truggy on 6S still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I lift the front wheels at speed.
Weren't you looking into a TT? That should be a car that will revive your driving enthusiasm, I hear it's a peach to drive, just like a 1/8th truggy.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not bored, just not as excited about it as I used to be. And it's not that I don't like my new crawler. This thing is amazing (I've never had a true crawler before) on what it can do, and its especially fun being able to drive it inside instead of sweating to death outside. I'm just kinda mad that I had to get a new motor, but it'll work out in the end. I would like a truggy, but the dang things are so expensive...
