No offer to pay. It's just that I've spent $1000+ on it in parts, batteries, spurs, tires/wheels, etc. to keep it running for the past 6 years. That includes those sucky brushed motors that always blew up... If I go the next step up, I would probably go to the Ofna Buggy 8 or LX2E. Not that interested in MTs, but I do want a 1:8 eventually. I have like two more vehicles on my list to get, and those are a scale crawler and a 4x4 1:8 buggy. Sometime in college dad and I are going to invest together in a large dual motor catamaran, but there is no concern right now for something that far off.
