Default RE: What to look for when buying a used 1/5 scale gasser?

Actually you are right. I just searched ebay after reading your post, and it looks like people are wanting around $800-$900 for a used one!!!! I know of the redcat 1/5 scales being cheaper than the HPI's, and I haven't heard of KM or any others...do you have any recommendations? Also, are KM cars any good? I think I'm gonna go gas just because they cost less up front...not sure about long term. Probably still cost around the same long term as an electric considering how much less gasoline costs than batteries...but then you buy gas more frequently, so I guess it levels out.
