ORIGINAL: GT-Power

honestly i dont know why people get their trucks fixed at a hobby shop. What good is it going to do you when your truck is out of comission and there is a 3 week backlog at the hobby shop? Get the parts you need now and a manual and take your time and leanr your truck inside out. I know way back when i 1st got my rc10GT (wow almost 7 years now) i was so scared to touch anything on it and had the hobby shop do everything on it! It was very expensive this way and I hardly ever got to drive my truck. SOOOOOO I started wrenching here and there myself. First it was something like the slipper clutch. Now i can tear down my car in 10 minutes and put it back together in the same time. When you get like this with your truck it will become just more fun overall wrenching on it and you will know the the idyosynchrosies of the truck. Also when a problem does come up you can tackle it and be right back out running again. Just a thought man.

I got my first car in august 2004 and I was never afraid to tear it down, except the engine, I have yet to do anything to the engine other than tune it, replace plugs and remove the pipes
