Thanks guys! I have another concern; the price to keep it running/maintenance. I've heard that 1/5 scale parts prices are much higher, but is it really that bad? I'm only going to be racing, so I think I wouldn't be breaking too many parts. Also, the only upgrades I plan on doing are suspension limiters, tuned pipe, and a lipo rx battery. Oh and an outerwears pre filter. Later on down the road I may get a more powerful engine, but to start, I probably won't do that. Is it actually that expensive to have a 1/5 scale car? I've heard of many people dropping thousands upon thousands of dollars into their 1/5 scales, but I just don't have that kind of money, which makes me a little hesitant about getting one.
