Gah I find myself always coming back to this thought....

I'm longing for a 1/5 scale again, but again the doubt of upkeep prices is keeping me away.

Lets see here...if my only other RC cars are scalers/crawlers, an electric 1/10 for the indoor season, a 1/36 micro car, and maybe some micro planes, then I think that I may be able to handle it. Not 100% sure though. I would be keeping the 1/5 for strictly racing and no bashing whatsoever. Not even competitive racing...just for fun. Basically, just running around the track with others and no real intentions of trying to win...just having straight up, pure fun. I have no clue what it is, but theres just this huge appeal for me to these gas burning, big cars even if I feel like I can't afford it. Anyone else want to share their experience on owning a 1/5 scale vehicle and what the upkeep costs are like? I know some of you already have, but if anyone else has more to add, that would be great.
