I'll tell all you young'ns one thing... buy everything NOW for your RC. I'm 29, married with 3 girls, 6,3,and 4 months. It took an act of Congress for me to spend the $200 on my used Duratrax Axis shoulda paid $50. Since then I read up on other buggies like Ofna, Hyper, etc. The Kyosho is like $700+ !!!!! My question is, how the hell are you guys buying these $500 cars, then $200 engines, then $250 radios?!?!?!?!? All I know is that 8 years ago, I'll bet I'da had a Kyosho or a Hyper, but now.... I'm stuck with my Axis []. Take my advice, if your hardcore into RC make sure you spend all you $ NOW!!!!
