Just be prepared to put down the cash, parts are alot more expensive then 1/10. For example, 60 bucks for a set of rims/tires. They probably use about the same amount of rubber to make them but they are marked up like 4 dollars more, so are the rims. I got a 1/8 scale without even looking at the price of tires. all Im gonna say is that they better last along ***** time. Also none of my LHS carry 1/8 scale parts so I have to order everything from Tower hobbies. If I break something its going to be a 1 week wait and 4 dollars for shipping.
