Hmm...You are whining because you couldn't get your car to tune. Okay, then switching to electric would be the choice if you can't tune properly. But then again, an electric can crash just as easy as your nitro, so if you can't come up with the funds (that's all this hobby is. face it, these things break) you may want to back out of R/C. I am 15 as well. But I have 4 different cars; two of which are nitro and well you can do the math for the electrics. You said you only ran it like 7 times...and you give up after 7 runs?! Bleh, nothing's perfect and if you can't handle what is required for the hobby, then you should look for a new one haha. Funds are an issue for people our age, but I found a way to beat the system: I got a job[8D]. Now that I have entered the work world I have fun with my hobby and my actual car and I am actually about to buy another R/C (Serpent 905-R). So I mean if you aren't having fun with R/C-ing, try getting a job or just go out and mow people's lawns to support it.
