Oh I know you get what you pay for, that's honestly anything and everything now days, it was the same way when building the planes. And I know most ppl wont lend out their cars because most of the time they don't know how to drive them, but for not I don't see any difference as if I was driving them since I don't know much better either. If you get what I'm saying. Lol. But the person I know wants to get into it also, he just doesn't want to do it alone, so as far as paying back, I trust him for that. And I know maintenance isn't always the fun part, but I work on real cars also, so I know it's better to do the crap work to have the fun later on.

Okay, so I take it, the idea of even getting the D3 is far more out of my league then I think, at least you two are being honest about the chassis, I knew it came with a few problem, but those can always be fixed if everything's planned out before hand, which is basically what I'm trying to do now. I guess I will save that for later down the road if I decide to buy something already CS'd.

As as for that body, I have only seen it on ABC Hobby's website an Tamiya maybe! I can not remember. May have been Banzai... But ABC Hobby seemed to have the best options for what I want to do with the body. HPI is mainly the American body cars with a handful of the stereotypical drift cars. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it and buy one if the chance ever comes.

im just looking forward to Christmas so I can treat myself to some goodies. If the TA06 Pro keeps coming up, I might just nab that and the Sakura XI Sport I planned on getting. Just wish someone would still carry the original Sakura XI instead of the sport.
