That was going to be my next post, lol. Time is right! I work hard all day at work pulling wrenches, the last thing I want to do is come in the house and have to work on repairing or fabricating a servo recoil! I would rather just work a little more a work and BUY a plug and play part and install it rather than try and fabricate one. I dont personally find that a stress relief, but putting a kit together with all the right reliable parts to begin with, thats a whole different story, I can do that. If I added up all my time fabricating my Taigens and HL, and put a labor price on it, I could have had a couple more built Tamiyas, lol. When my hobbies turn into work, they become work and not hobbies, its then I make a decision, either get out of the hobby or find a way to make the hobby a hobby again. Everyone is different as how they look at a hobby.
